Veterans for Peace Praises WikiLeaks; St. Louis Group Wants Medal for Informant
• Chad GarrisonBy now you've certainly heard how the website WikiLeaks this week released some 91,000 classified and/or sensitive military reports detailing the failures of the war in Afghanistan.

Wow! Who would have thought that common sense and intelligence would come out of Missouri? Good for them. The WikiLeaks people should get Obomber's Nobel Peace Price, lord knows they've done something towards that end.
