Wikileaks Vows Release '7x the Size' of Iraq Leak

CWmike writes "WikiLeaks has promised to release a load of information seven times bigger than the Iraq War Logs, which raised the Internet group's profile around the world and caused some nations to take notice of the issue of leaks of top-secret documents online. In a note on Twitter, WikiLeaks said, 'Next release is 7x the size of the Iraq War Logs. Intense pressure over it for months,' and asked supporters to continue donating to the cause. WikiLeaks did not say what the new release of information would be about."

      Where? You're not talking about the US, are you? Sorry, but when more than half of your federal budget goes towards social services, you no longer get to call yourself a capitalist country. I'm not sure that there ARE any more capitalist countries, except for maybe Somalia :p

    That argument was used to not nuking Japan in WWII.

    Agreed. The non-dropping of the unatomic bomb was one of the key nonevents of WWII. We all don't have Groves and Oppenheimer to thank that the Manhattan Nonproject never did happen.

    here's what I want released, while we're in a release anything kinda mood... How about someone release the documents we captured from saddams oval office? They were referred to as the harmony docs, and were being translated by the FMSO. Remember the october surprise in the 2004 NYTimes: "bush leaks saddam's nuke primer on web"? I saw many of those docs... WMD specs, bio/chem training manuals, evading un inspectors. How 'bout releasing those?

    Well, you could visit Argentina and ask Saddam himself. It was his double that was hanged. He was spirited away to Argentina and took up residence in Hitler's old villa.

    Well, that's a more charitable description of the Bush Administration than I'd have proposed, but I suppose reasonable people can disagree.
