According to some, Wikileaks is showering everyone with the dirt.

The #1 enemy of the American people, is their own government.
Whether the closed minded, ignorant, proud American's are aware of this yet, or not.

So far Wikileaks is suggesting the opposite; I read an opinion piece today that pointed out that the leaks are so far telling the world that the US Gov is doing pretty much exactly what it says it has. Other than the rendition business, most of the world's conspiracy theories about what's "really" going on with the US have not been proven out by any leaks.

It is kind of ironic that our evil empire of a government gives people the right of free speech. Even though our evil empire of a goverment doesn't want their non secrets out, they will not be able to press charges against wiki-leaks because of our evil government's long history of giving freedom to the press. Mr. Ass is really challenging that liberty, not because he has some high moral reason, no, he just is a wanker.

Look. Our evil government allows websites to publish links to the cables. They can respond to them and in this case make fun of them.

The sky is not falling. The American government is embarrassed but not broken. There really isn't anything newsworthy in them, except for that UT mentioned. It isn't that the American government hiding something, it is that they were PRIVATE. Like Mr. ASS bets he would like to keep his rape charges private.

There are many countries with blasphemy laws. That means talking out against one's own government in any manner. There are personal and civil liberties denied in many countries, but this isn't one of them.

It wouldn't be so bad if an American leaked the papers, but it really pisses me off to have non American's bashing Americans.

Why don't people take an interest in those countries that curtail and punish people who dare to take issue or have their civil liberties limited. I mean
wtf!

Wikileaks was not required for an observer to be aware of this fact.

We keep waiting for the Pentagon Papers here but all we get are Pentagon Post-Its.

As I said before, I hold no ego to hurt, no pride in race, country or species.

Right, above mere earthlings.

Had WikiLeaks been in place back in the yellowcake time-frame we could have avoided supplying manpower to AQ for the last several years. What to do with Saddam would continue to be an issue but we would have had to deal with it honestly and openly.

Not banned

If I were him I would make something up to defend his nauseating movies as well.

Now this is rich. Assange is complaining because someone is leaking information about him.

Wikileaks is covering cables as old as 1979, so...

Gregory (Scotland Yard detective): "Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
Holmes: "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
Gregory: "The dog did nothing in the night-time."
Holmes: "That was the curious incident."

Poor fella....

Assange attacks former friends and US
Says rape accusers motivated by revenge
Claims to have material to destroy bank boss
Police feared he would be assassinated
JULIAN Assange, the man behind WikiLeaks, today launched a wide ranging series of attacks on both his enemies and allies as he defended his public and private conduct.
In his first UK newspaper interview since releasing hundreds of secret diplomatic cables last month, Mr Assange told The Times he predicts the US will face reprisals if it attempts to extradite him on conspiracy charges.

He accused his media partners at The Guardian newspaper, which worked with him to make the embarrassing leaks public, of unfairly tarnishing him by revealing damaging details of the sex assault allegations he faces in Sweden.
