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

Posted by Soulskill on from the learn-the-truth-about-the-yellow-turban-rebellion dept.

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."

      Not as bad as the trouble Duke's going to be in for releasing the Bushes baked beans recipe.

    You're really trying to get the dust kicked up early, aren't you?

    Alternatively... with my meager research (reading Slashdot and other sites), I can't figure out which is the superior text editor. Vi or Emacs?

    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.

    Other countries have Security Services...some of which are known for their ruthless efficiency.

    Not to mention, fear, surprise, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.
