It's a list of the three highest priority industrial facilities in the country directly across the gulf from one of your primary warzones, it also gives the name of the controlling company, and the name of the bureaucrat directly in charge of the controlling company.
More to the point, it is a concrete priority list according to the US' own economic research, it's like paying a research team to discern your weak spots and then handing that information directly to your enemies.
Frankly, the extent to which this information is dangerous is obvious enough that I actually feel somewhat uncomfortable discussing it in this public forum. But since somebody else clearly has already gone public with similar information in a much more obvious way...
- aw3c2 16y agoThe war is there because the USA attacked. As I said, if this actually is a significant leak, then let it be an eye-opener and improve your land's self-support. You can only exploit other countries through globalism so much. Nothing beats having all you need at home.
- etherael 16y agoOk so let me see if I follow your line of reasoning here. A) War is bad. B) The war in Iraq is particularly bad C) So let's provide intel to the enemy in order to make the war even worse for the US, potentially killing many innocent foreign workers or friendly bureaucrats in the process? You lost me at C.
- borism 16y agoWho's the enemy? The people? Any serious enemy already has this information.

- krschultz 16y agoYou are right. A serious enemy would have this information. You can be sure during the Cold War the USSR had a list just like this on us, and we had a list just like this on them. And we pointed the nukes at each place on that list. I would wager a couple countries still keep a list like this. The terrorists are not like that. They don't have the resources. But they do have the means to blow people up and kill in the dozens or hundreds at a time (and on 9/11, thousands at a time). If you worked in one of those oil refineries in Qatar that yesterday wasn't a a terrorist target, but today is, would you be happy about Wikileaks? Most of these are far from obvious to laymen, which most of the terrorists are.
- borism 16y agoBelieve me, people working at those facilities already have very good level of security, both at home and work.
