@dag & @Hybrid, I'm sure you're enjoying the debate, but what is happening in the UK is not directly about Wikileaks but extradition to Sweden to answer sexual assault charges.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Talk about wreckless, how about state-sanctioned murder by helicopter of journalists? Isn't Wikileaks doing a service to humanity by getting this information out? Doesn't this trump "putting our operatives in danger"? >> ^Hybrid:

From the article: "But despite similar warnings ahead of the previous two massive releases of classified U.S. intelligence reports by the website, U.S. officials concede that they have no evidence to date that the documents led to anyone's death."
Oh, so someone has to die first before it's branded reckless. I get it now.
>> ^dag:
You might want to read this. No state wants its secrets revealed - especially when they are violating international law, but sunshine is the best disinfectant. >> ^Hybrid:
Well I think the charges are likely to be espionage related, and I think they can easily be applied. Some documents leaked named key people in hot spots around the world, and put them and their families in immediate danger. This is the reckless part of Assange that I hugely dislike. He doesn't care what's the documents, he just feeds off the controversy. He's not an activist or journalist, he's a walking, talking egotistical, god complex.
>> ^dag:
What would the charges be? - or does that even matter. Seriously - would you charge him with copyright infringement? >> ^Hybrid:
If only it were that simple. Did Assange wake up to all these leaked documents and go "You know what, I'm going to release all these documents belonging to the world's biggest superpower and it will be fine because I'm not a US citizen and therefore they'll just forget about it"?
People get extradited all the time, and not always to their birth countries. The US is currently trying to extradite a UK hacker from the UK. That's right, the UK is debating extraditing one of their own. It happens when you break laws that have international ramifications.
But even if you put all the law/jurisdiction mess aside. It doesn't help that I hugely dislike Assange. He's an egotistical, reckless bastard out to promote his own name. Secondly, I hate The Young Turks. Cenk says Assange is being extradited for "actually doing journalism". Oh fuck off Cenk, releasing a bunch of documents in their raw format, is NOT journalism. Anybody could do that.
>> ^dag:
Just because the documents were classified by the US government - why is it binding on someone who is not a citizen of the US?
If Iran marks their nuclear enrichment plans as top secret - and they wind up on Wikileaks - do you also think Assange should be extradited to Iran to stand trial?
>> ^Hybrid:
I have no issue with seeing Mr. Assange being extradited to the US via Sweden. He made a conscious choice to leak knowingly classified information, now it's time to face the music.

Remember, the SCOTUS upheld this atrocious provision of the Patriot Act in the case Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project. "Material support for terrorism" is what got others into jail for considerably less than what these open advocates of MEK are doing.

This guy, for instance, was sentenced to 69 months in prison for "providing satellite television services to Hezbollah’s television station, Al Manar".

But hey, if the Israelis are working with them, they can't be terrorists, right? Israel and state-sponsored terrorism? Nah, never.

Besides, members of MEK were trained by JSOC at the Department of Energy’s Nevada National Security Site. So if they were terrorists, the US would be equally guilty of state-sponsored terrorism. Luckily though, being on the State Department's terrorist watch list doesn't make you a terrorist by US definition.

Opposition to US interests makes you a terrorist. Support of WikiLeaks makes you a terrorist.

I too found this movie mediocre, which was a shame, but he was amazing. He's even better in Little Children.


What do you have against giant blue cock!



Really, the only part I liked was the ending, and not the "heros", but rorschach's. Everyone else was content with murdering a city "for the greater good", rorschach was like, "fuck that noise, that makes you murderers". They be like "No G, we are STOPPING murdering dog", then Rorschach's little diary gets out and all the killing was for nothing...secrets out. Might as well be a story of wikileaks...except Rorschach's a crazy mother fucker. At least, that is how my brain remembers it, I might have added my own context.

ugh..

No, of course there will be no investigation because you said that Anonymous hacked into the email accounts. Then wikileaks published some of them.

Wikileaks is in possession of stolen property which cannot be submitted as evidence in a trial.

Lawyers correct me if I'm wrong.

^That was a huge over-generalization though.

Anyway, the world may indeed be more peaceful than ever before, but because information travels so much faster than ever before, we still see more and more violence and war. As the flow of information grows, the perceived war increases.

Imagine this, how fucked up could police have been in the 80s, when no cameras caught anything?

Secret wars are coming to an end, although the propagators of them really wants to keep them around (look at what's happening with wikileaks).
