Wikileaks Publishes 500,000 9/11 Pager Messages

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hindsight-and-voyeurism dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Wikileaks is preparing to release 500,000 intercepted pager messages from a 24-hour period encompassing the September 11 terrorist attacks. The messages show emergency services springing into action and computer systems sending automated messages as buildings collapse. Wikileaks implies this data came from an organised collection effort."

    What is the point of this story on slashdot? It's not tech related, has really very little news value, and idiotly suggests some kind of conspiracy.

    Can there be moderation for editors please? I love how comments can be modded to oblivion, but useless editors and stories can't.

    Too bad it isn't phone calls. They might be more intresting than meeting reminders:

    Him: Guess where I'm calling from.
    Her: Huh?
    Him: I'm calling from ythe plane. I'm on the plane, and calling you. It's a phone, on the plane.
    Her: How stupid.
    Him: Hold on, we're about to fly through a buil.....
    Her: Hello? Hello?
