[国会纪录:2010年11月30日(参议院)] [第S8270]披露佛罗里达州纳尔逊先生的披露。主席先生,美国的秘密并非担任千万个分类电缆文件的风险。美国的朋友和盟友面临风险,因此美国的国家安全面临风险。当分类电缆确定某些帮助我们从世界各地的人们推动自由世界的利益时,捍卫我们的国家安全以及所有人类的安全 - 当那些人暴露时,有很多坏人那里想要摆脱那种人的人。当信息来源 - 我会打扮它并确切地告诉你它是什么;它被称为情报 - 当通过被公开的智力来源被公开地背叛时,披露,千万万缆车标记为“顶级秘密”或标记为“秘密”,那么我们所拥有的完成的是我们已经开始把手束缚在自己身后,以便我们捍卫自己的能力。我为什么这么说?好吧,看看最近的恐怖主义行为的尝试。 We were able to avert the terrorist striking because we got the information that he was going to strike before he struck. Where did that source of information come? Often that source of information comes from far corners of the globe because we have a relationship with people who are giving us information that we then track down and find that, in fact, it is true and stop the terrorist from doing their dastardly deed upon innocent humans. Since 2001 and the September 11th bombings and the September 11th crashes of the airliners, over and over again the newspapers of this country have chronicled terrorist plots that have been thwarted for the reasons I have just said. Now along comes someone who, for whatever reasons of being a misfit, wants to disgorge thousands of classified cables that start to betray our sources of information to protect ourselves and protect others--not even necessarily our allies--but other innocent victims in other countries with whom we may not even have a relationship. This is the height of dishonoring our country and our people and all humankind, and it is the height of traitorous activity. It has to stop. We cannot continue to thwart these terrorist acts if we do not have reliable sources of information in order to disrupt the terrorist plots. Do you know what? The newspapers have chronicled, since the attempt, for example, of blowing up FedEx and UPS--and, by the way, those packages also were carried on commercial airliners with passengers on them--you know what the newspapers have chronicled? They have pointed out how the terrorist organizations are crowing about how little it costs them and how they will find another way in order to do this. As the newspapers reported, we found out and stopped that plot by long-distance sources of information that came to us. To betray those sources, to now put their lives in jeopardy by the indiscriminate turning over to an organization called WikiLeaks that suddenly puts all of this up on the Web, is the height of irresponsibility, an act against humanity, and it has to be stopped. Mr. President, I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Pennsylvania. ____________________
