WikiLeaks Shows 10,000's Of Classified Documents

Apparently, WikiLeaks has produced thousands of documents that are deemed secret about the Aghanistan war and the New York Times has printed them. (where have we heard that before)
The first question I had was why and how were these documents released and by whom? Somebody is not minding the store in the Obama administration and heads should roll over this. There is no excuse when a bunch of secret documents are released illegally.

From Fox News, the amount is close to 90,000 documents. "Some 90,000 leaked U.S. military records amount to an blow-by-blow account of six years of the Afghanistan war, including unreported incidents of Afghan civilian killings as well as covert operations against Taliban figures, two newspapers and a magazine with access to the documents reported Sunday."...
In a very strange response from the Obama administration: The White House swiftly condemned the document disclosure, saying it "put the lives of Americans and our partners at risk."
In a statement, White House national security adviser Gen. Jim Jones took pains to point out that the documents describe a period from January 2004 to December 2009, during the administration of President George W. Bush.
That was before "President Obama announced a new strategy with a substantial increase in resources for Afghanistan, and increased focus on al-Qaida and Taliban safe havens in Pakistan, precisely because of the grave situation that had developed over several years," Jones said".

Who cares when the time frame was. But the Obama administration decided to bring Bush into it for no reason at all except probably trying to deflect blame for Obama's administration screw ups.
When you have 90,000 classified documents released, you have a major problem and you can't blame Bush on this at all. This is all on Obama and his administration and there should be many heads rolling because of this.
