Wikileaks Receiving Gestapo Treatment?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the picking-some-fights dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Wikileaks announced on Mar 21 (via its twitter account) its intentions 'to reveal Pentagon murder-coverup at US National Press Club, Apr 5, 9am.' It appears that during the last 24 hours someone from the State Department/CIA decided to visit them, by 'following/photographing/filming/detaining' an editor for 22 hours. Apparently, the offending leak is a video footage of a US airstrike."

    A Twitter page is now the source /. is running with?

    I suppose when you put "it appears" and "apparently" you can just pass anything off as "news".

    Would you trust a source more if it was on the radio?

    Maybe you'ld just like it if I got off your lawn.

    Thankfully, health care is one of four things that Canadians love so much that they're willing to stand up and fight for it (the other three things being: beer, hockey, and that god awful Tim Horton's coffee).

    You need the health care and coffee to counteract the hockey and beer.
