The anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks said Tuesday that it has obtained a vast portion of the CIA's computer hacking arsenal, and began posting the files online in a breach that may expose some of the U.S. intelligence community's most closely guarded cyber weapons.
A statement from WikiLeaks indicated that it planned to post nearly 9,000 files describing code developed in secret by the CIA to steal data from targets overseas and turn ordinary devices including cellphones, computers and even television sets into surveillance tools.
The hacking organisation made the statement as it announced a huge release of confidential documents from the CIA as part of its mysterious Year Zero series, founder Julian Assange claimed. The group said that from October 2014 the CIA was "looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks" to enable them to "engage in nearly undetectable assassinations."

That is what I understood from your position. Would you be willing to discuss, you only need to correct it**
My point you ask?
My point is: "I fail to see how Ted Lieu concentrating on who leaked rather than what is the rationale CIA lets american public vulnerable" can be considered as logical.

** Based on the "Perhaps your meds need adjusting?" I have some doubts discussion is possible, so perhaps we might as well let the things how they are and agree to ignore each other.

Nah, more like something you dreamt up and decided to project on to anyone who thinks your first post was non-sensical.
