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."
The blurb makes it sound like this is an imminent release. According to the interview this information won't be released until "early next year".
Better known as 318230.

Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
I'm sorry, but having someone steal something and then give it to you doesn't make it "public domain" or "public information", it just makes you an accomplice to the theft.
If it is information about massive fraud and criminal enterprise against the public (and let's face it, that's exactly what it is going to be), it makes you an accomplice to a fucking hero.
Interpol doesn't create "arrest warrants". They handle international police cooperation in the enforcement of law. Sweeden or Australia may have a warrant out for him, and they are working with Interpol to have a "Red Notice" filed. The notice may be recognized as merit for arrest in some countries, but it's a bit of a crap shoot.
There was a lot of misinformation spread about Interpol a few months ago. They don't have judges, they don't have cops, they don't detain people. They just facilitate communication and interaction between police forces from different countries.

Amen brother!
Furthermore, this is what Obama PROMISED : "a more transparent government".
Instead what we got was a more secretive government. So someone has to do the job if they are not going to.
But yeah, "the media" are a bunch of spineless corporate mouthpieces. Every "anchor" is a former MTV V-Jay, with only entertainment experience and no journalism credentials. And no one is left to do actual, hard-hitting reporting. Walter Cronkite must be so ashamed of what has happened to "the news".
If telephones are outlawed, then only outlaws will have telephones.
I'm somewhat amused of these anti-american accusations that pretty much everyone who criticizes the US government in form or another is subjected to on internet forums. Wasn't it recent US president who was so eager to make it clear for everyone that "You are either with us or against us"? Seems like many people in US have taken that advice to their hearts.
In recent news from the same front the incoming chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee says WikiLeaks should be officially designated as a terrorist organization.

If this goes through, whatever you do, please don't preach to the rest of the world about freedom.
