Long live WikiLeaks. Anybody against it is against free press and free speech.

And you know why he's a fag? Because he's an egotwat. He goes round acting like he's untouchable as if noone could get him. It doesn't help that his insurance files are, due to his self absorbed arrogance, blatantly deterrence bluffs that would make best Korea jelly. If everyone just stopped pussying around and actually did something about it, this would all be over. I mean he's no more than an overhyped internet gossip columist. People are only calling him a journalist because he's all "I hate hate America HUUURRRRR I fight for you" bullshit.

>>4 He goes round acting like he's untouchable as if noone could get him.
That's not the sense I get from him at all. Especially with some of the interviews he had with the BBC. They were cool, calm and collective, not boastful in the slightest. It doesn't help that his insurance files are, due to his self absorbed arrogance, blatantly deterrence bluffs that would make best Korea jelly.
Hyperbole. Conflating a man with a small Internet organization to a communist government. If everyone just stopped pussying around and actually did something about it, this would all be over. I mean he's no more than an overhyped internet gossip columist. People are only calling him a journalist because he's all "I hate hate America HUUURRRRR I fight for you" bullshit.
AFAIK, he hasn't been indited on any charges from operating WikiLeaks, just the supposed "rape" charge, which is in all probability, frivolous. And has no bearing or relevancy on operating WikiLeaks.
All I've heard are some (mostly Republican) Republican and Democratic politicians howling for his blood; Congress has arguably released much more sensitive information, like the recently declassified locations of nuclear operating sites throughout the country.
I've heard similar stuff many times bleated on by American media, and it's pretty much frivolous and not worth to be taken seriously.
All I know is that he's doing things to hurt the country I live in...DAMN STRAIGHT I WANT HIS HEAD!

This Assange, this so called perfect crusader knowlingly collaborates with anti-semites (Islam Shamir) and adopts a Sarah Palin aggressiveness (quoted as saying informants deserve to be killed). What's that say about bradley Manning, an informant? Assange wants him to die too?

Have you actually read any of the cables? There's nothing really controversial in them. Watergate was much more embarrassing in comparison. All the cables did was confirm what most people knew or suspected already.
>>10 Apparently you know something that nobody else does.
What I've said in >>5 can be found on the BBC website, including the interviews that Assange was given while in custody in the UK. And as far as I know, the US Department of Justice hasn't filed anything against WikiLeaks or Assange (besides threatening to do something for months now), just some rousers in Congress being belligerent and boisterous as usual. Not to mention certain American media inflating the situation and misinforming the public because they're paid to do so.

This doesn't show me much except a news organization paddling its book like some obnoxious celebrity would, and possibly one that's filled with information that has dubious validity and origin. All for the affordable price of £9.99!
possibly one that's filled with information that has dubious validity and origin
It takes a talented person to be able to judge a book even before they've seen the cover. Or decide what is worth face value and what can be discarded as spurious.
I'm not going to waste money to find if Guardian's book is true or not. If it gets leaked out as a PDF I might take a look at it. It's pretty obvious that they're using this incident to make a quick buck and not much more (in that category, WikiLeaks has the upper hand since they're donation based), plus Guardian is a dubious news source in general, maybe a notch or two above the Daily Mail.
Most of this bullshit is an attack on Assange's character rather than the operation of WikiLeaks itself, granted I probably wouldn't have Assange in my group of friends, but organizations like WikiLeaks are needed and important.

People get worked up over anything, like that moron Jenny McCarthy who spouts the bullshit that childhood vaccines cause autism, which was proved incorrect in a recent study, which is not only retarded, but people should be held liable for spouting such bullshit that can become fatal for some. Remember the whole "putting innocents in danger" thing? It's called "doublespeak".
Which has yet to be proven. Doesn't stop media from spouting it mindlessly though. I think the question is: Have YOU read the cables?
Yes. I found this one in particular, amusing http://wikileaks.ch/cable/2008/01/08OTTAWA136.html . Most of the cables are just your typical boring diplomatic business, nothing really controversial. Maybe some of the cables from 1966-1975 might be embarrassing to those involved during the Vietnam War, but nothing that people don't known already.

Ffs.
The helicoptor video has been taken out of context and given the "collatoral Murder" to make Assrange look like more of a journalistic dynamo than he really is. The hint is in the overdramatic video title. Most of the footage before the people got shot was cut out. For all we know they could have been transporting weapons and got caught. The journalists who got caught in it were unfortunately in the wrong place and the wrong time.

You are probably right. Soldiers never kill innocent people, bombs always find the right target and police bullets ricochet by default. There is no such thing as human error.
The collateral murder video shows what happens when the (faschist/racist) idea of collective guilt is used. When people stop being innocent unless proved otherwise.
Yes, the collateral murder video IS out of context. It doesn't show that this is operation is part of a war waged for oil with the excuse of looking for WMDs. It doesn't show how normal civilians caught into this are treated, and it doen's show how thousants of innocent civilians were murdered in thier own country, possibly in their own home.

I'm not talking about it being out of context in those terms, I'm talking about it being out of context due to the fact that pretty much all the footage before it was cut out and an over dramatic name was taped to it, and then paraded by a complete ego maniac who obviously gets a rise out of people watching it. In fact, when Steven Colbert questioned Assange on the nature of presenting the footage as it was, he came close to making Assange crack and make him look like he was peddling the video for viewing figures instead of informing.
In 1941 the Japanese started some shit with us, and we shut their little yellow monkey asses down, killing off a third of their nation's population before they finally surrendered three and a half years later.
Our ancestors are spinning in their graves because we refuse to do the same with the sandniggers.

From that very same article, in the comments below resides my opinion on the issue, that being "Who cares who bests who in this cat fight or how wierd he is or isn't. I care about the truth that our government and others hide from us that harms us or exposes us to danger".

So you're happy to support a man who wants to literally make a woman in every country pregnant, has been noted to attack cats and paid an anti-semite to represent Wikileaks in Russia?
You do know the whole "I want woman around the world to have my babies because I think the world should be dominated by mini-mes" stuff Assange is reported to have had said could be used by Miss A and Miss W's laywers to suggest Assange deliberately saboutged the condom for a reason.

They will use that excuse if they think it fits. Don't worry though. Wikileaks has been a dud since September when the other guy took the software needed to make posters anon because "children shouldn't play with guns" which is what Assange has been doing.
And the BOA stuff is a dud as well.
>>32
It is not a man I support. It is an ideal. While Assange and Wikileaks may not be a perfect example of that ideal, they are certainly the closest. If another were to take over what Wikileaks stood for and did it better, then great. But until that time, I'll support an organization founded by an egocentric rapist, because that is where the idea of truly free press/speech is right now.

Assange is a tool of much greater and sinister puppet masters.
It's an old tactic.
Muslims use it a lot in America and around the world. Communists have used it for 70 years.
Use the cry of "freedom" to achieve your dominance over others and then shut down that same freedom for everyone else when you achieve the power to do so.

That sounds awfuly like the US doesn't it? You might want to check your facts again. Not that US citizens have anything to do with this though.
