By COOPER LEVEY-BAKER 12/1/10 9:40 AM -

In an interview yesterday, Rep. Connie Mack, R-Cape Coral, defended the American public’s right to know the information contained in the hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables leaked to the whistleblower website WikiLeaks, saying “the blame here should fall on the administration and the Department of Defense.”

“If they don’t want the information to get out, then they need to have procedures in place to make sure that information doesn’t get out,” he said on the Fox Business show Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano, a clip of which you can watch after the jump.

Mack also agreed with the host of the program’s assertion that Americans have a right to know the contents of the leaks, “no matter how we acquire that knowledge.”

“I agree with you,” Mack said. “I think that we do have a right to know.”

1. Hey Mr. Mack...how about opening the BCCI books Bush/Clinton/Bush want to stay closed?
Hey Mr. Mack...you were probably fully supportive of the secrecy and privilege of rhe Bushes on BCCI matters that ended up flying jets into NYC buildings on Sept.11, 2001.

We think so too, Mr. Mack. Let's start with the actions of your buddy Mel Martinez, in Spain.



The people have had ENOUGH and, by God, we are going to expose these criminals for who they are.


We have HAD ENOUGH.
