WikiLeaks Will Unveil Major Bank Scandal
Atmanman writes "When WikiLeaks announced it was releasing 251,287 US diplomatic cables, we all thought we knew what was meant by its earlier ominous words that, 'The coming months will see a new world, where global history is redefined.' It now appears the organization is sitting on a treasure trove of information so big that it has stopped taking submissions. Among data to be released are tens of thousands of documents from a major US banking firm and material from pharmaceutical companies, finance firms and energy companies."
Many Bothans died to bring us this information.
I'm going to go back in my box and will think within the limits of my box: MS Sucks Linux Good I read too much Slashdot.
It's a TARP?
meep
people will shift from bitterly complaining about the ruling class to smugly complaining about the ruling class. it will be totally different.
It would be hilarious if WL did post stuff from other countries, and then slashdot said 'WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? This is in some kind of crazy alien language, I can't read this!"
Don't be stupid. Everyone knows that foreign spies all speak English, just with a funny accent.
Finally, one last personal nitpick. What the hell does "wiki" have to do with anything? I think he threw that term in there to gain additional trust and ride the coattails of Wikipedia. There is nothing "wiki" about wikileaks in any way whatsoever.
I've always though "wiki" was from the word "wick". That is to say, a candle or lantern wick will absorb and consolidate a substance. Wikipedia absorbs and consolidates knowledge. Wikileaks absorbs and consolidates scandals for redistribution and consumption.
Life is not for the lazy.
Obviously that bastard could care less about all the bankers who will lose their livelihoods as a result of this information being made public. He's nothing but a traitor to the free market--and probably a communist, socialist, fascist, muslim, Nazi, child molesting rapist too!
I hear he wasn't even born in the U.S.

If you think America is overly nationalistic what do you think about China? Russia?
Or those fanatical Canadians. The few Canadians at hockey games in the US sing that friggin national anthem louder than the 10 times as many Americans sing theirs.
Who is John Galt?
US Gov and others are pissed because they're getting their pants pulled down.
It's a little more like they've been put in a porno scanner at the airport.

Thanks, I've traveled outside the US, which helps to get some perspective.
Hell, just paying attention in high school civics class ought to be enough to come to the same conclusions -- unless you've got that new texan curriculum, then you probably do need to travel...
When information is power, privacy is freedom.
Stimpy: Remeber the royal anthem of the kilted yaksmen!
Our country reeks of trees
Our yaks are really large
And they smell like rotting beef
carcasses...
And we have to clean-up
after them
And our saddle sores are
the best.
We proudly wear women's
clothing.
And searing sand blows up
our skirts.
Ren & Stimpy: And buzzards,
they soar overhead.
And poisonous snakes will devour
us whole.
And our bones will bleach in
the sun.
Stimpy: That's it
Ren & Stimpy: And we will
probably go to ****.
And that is our great reward
For being the - uh - roy-yal
Canadian kilted yaksmen
Stimpy: Come on everybody
Our country reeks of trees

No, America was successful because it was the first to adopt a constitutional representative democracy and stick with it.
Don't forget the Romans. I mean, what have they ever done for us?
