Reports today from Russia state that  Iran’s navy is planning to send a “flotilla” to  patrol our eastern coast shortly.  [Anyone know how many ships comprise a flotilla?]   Are their navy destroyers  arranging a sight-seeing tour or do they want to size-up our naval carriers  that protect our nation?   Do they want to contact our naval submarines that also travel our shore lines?  What is their intent?  Should we be concerned?   According to a CNN report, the White House is not concerned and the Department of Defense says, ‘It’s no big deal.”  As we have learned over the last three years, whatever this administration  says, expect the opposite.

Important Cable Releases by Wikileaks

Days 1 – 6

The Drip, Drip, Drip of Wikileaks

This is a  composite of the most important  information that was released by Wikileaks to various news outlets.  This references  Days  1 – 6  by the UK’s Guardian. Of the reported 250,000 downloaded cables, only a fraction have been released.   These serve as insight into our government’s relationships with other countries.   They also may permanently damage our image throughout the world, highlight our inability to maintain our secret documents, and otherwise inhibit a trusting relationship with many countries.   This doesn’t  cover the danger that those who divulged their opinions  ” in secret”  may now face in the countries they represent.
