Digging Into the WikiLeaks Cables

A number of readers have sent in new WikiLeaks stories today, many of which focus on the content of the leaked diplomatic cables. The documents showed how the US government bullied and manipulated other countries to gain support for its Copenhagen climate treaty (though behavior from the US wasn't all negative), how copyright negotiations largely meet the expectations of critics like Michael Geist, and how Intel threatened to move jobs out of Russia if the Russian government didn't loosen encryption regulations. Perhaps the biggest new piece of information is a list of facilities the US considers 'vital to security.' Meanwhile, the drama surrounding WikiLeaks continues; Julian Assange's Swiss bank account has been frozen and the UK has received an arrest warrant for the man himself; the effort to mirror the site has gained support from Pirate Parties in Australia, in the UK and elsewhere; and PayPal was hit with a DDoS for their decision not to accept donations for WikiLeaks.

not leave people worried that backing WikiLeaks is backing a rapist?

morons you mean. morons who get their news from american mainstream media, and believe them.

there is no sexual assault. calling something sexual assault only makes it a sexual assault, in fox news. actually any moron watching it may be deserving bullshit, however ....

assange had sex with two different women. BOTH of the women stated that sex was voluntary. BEFORE, and AFTER the stuff hit the court.

the ironic part is, this issue didnt become a 'policeworthy' issue, until the two women learned that assange slept with both of them. when they learned this, they suddenly decided to seek counsel from the police, and went to police to see what their options are. naturally, the issue was right what the bloodsuckers in usa wanted, and despite the local prosecution dropped the case, their lapdogs in other places in sweden reopened it in their district.

so basically, everything is just two bitches not being able to stomach the fact that a guy they were screwing slept with someone else.

what is appalling is, there being MORONS who buy out the shit american mainstream media and government craps out. what is more appalling is, that there are actually people in a place like slashdot doing that too.

maybe i have too much expectations from this place, in regard to iq and cognitive power level of the participants ...
