Really? A "War Room" dedicated to taking on WikiLeaks?

There has to be a funny side to the revelation in The Daily Beast that the Pentagon is said to have set up a room, dubbed the "War Room" - with no less than some 12o employees - dedicated to deal with all aspects of what it sees as as a challenge to the USA.....WikiLeaks!:

"As WikiLeaks prepares a new dump of secret war documents, the feds’ intel SWAT team races to do damage control. Philip Shenon reports on its leader and its inner workings.

In a nondescript suite of government offices not far from the Pentagon, nearly 120 intelligence analysts, FBI agents, and others are at work—24 hours a day, seven days a week—on the frontlines of the government’s secret war against WikiLeaks.

Dubbed the WikiLeaks War Room by some of its occupants, the round-the-clock operation is on high alert this month as WikiLeaks and its elusive leader, Julian Assange, threaten to release a second batch of thousands of classified American war logs from Afghanstan. Thousands more leaked documents from another American war zone—Iraq—are also reportedly slated for release by WikiLeaks this fall."
