Today's WikiLeaks News
In today's episode of As WikiLeaks Turns we learn that WikiLeaks's main web site is back up less than 10 days after EveryDNS terminated the domain name over stability concerns. A 16-year-old Dutch boy suspected of being involved in the pro-WikiLeaks attacks on MasterCard and Visa has been arrested. But Dutch teenagers aren't the only Assange fans in the news. Many top journalists in Australia have sent a letter(PDF) to Prime Minister Julia Gillard today to express their support of WikiLeaks. The Sydney Police have written their own letter however to organizers of a pro-WikiLeaks rally saying that the police oppose a planned demonstration. Finally, special correspondent for The Times, Alexi Mostrous and freelance reporter Heather Brooke were given permission by the judge in the Julian Assange trial to post Twitter updates about the proceedings.
is not justification for the bad Wikileaks does.
There are better ways to do it.
"Police oppose a planned demonstration?" - by wierd_w (1375923) on Wednesday December 15, @01:59PM (#34564176)
Per my subject-line above, IF you haven't realized it that yet in your lifetime? The police simply do, what they are TOLD TO DO, by their political puppet masters!
(Who, in turn, do what THEY ARE TOLD TO DO, by their "KORPORATE AMERIKA" overlords, who in turn, respond to & do what THEY ARE TOLD, by the banks (WMF - the biggest crooks on the planet)).
It's not the "regular joe" cop, or even the police chief though & I want to STRESS THAT... they are people, ordinary working stiffs, & they too KNOW what's going on as well!
However: They too, are in FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES & KIDS etc., due to things like THIS where "the powers that be" even THREATEN OTHERS for fear of your job even http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/12/15/0038211/Air-Force-Blocks-NY-Times-WaPo-Other-Media occuring now for gov't. employees.
Everyone KNOWS what's going on, & the "scum at the top"? They pretty much are like "Yes, 'F-U' slaves - we run the show, NOT YOU, so 'know your role'" etc.!
Still - they don't want people like Assange around, so they try to "frame him up" on some b.s. "rape" charge (you can't "rape the willing" & the women Assange banged wanted it - they made some NEW LAW though that says if a condom breaks during sex, it's rape... Oh, please: Give us a f'ing break already! We're NOT that stupid!)
I will say 1 thing here though - the "powers that be"? They are AFRAID this time... look at them pressuring AMAZON, EveryDNS, PayPal (they admitted it), & others who either hosted wikileaks or took donations... why are the frightened this round?? Because they are NOT IN CONTROL OF THE INTERNET, they hate it, in fact - and they made the mistake of trying to "kill an idea"... impossible to do.
Its astonishing that you assume the US is the one putting pressure on them.
If anything you should have gotten out of the retarded 'cablegate' crap is that most of the time what appears to be the agenda of the US is really the agenda of someone else that the US doesn't seem to care about taking the blame for.
American politicians just happen to be the ones that have the balls to call him a douche in public, they certainly aren't the only ones to think it and you're an idiot if you think they are the only ones that want to shut him up.
Its fairly clear you've already made up your mind however and are fine with ignoring facts in favor of seeing only things that fit in line with your view of how the world works. Thats your business, but don't be surprised that you can never seem to understand how the world works and why everyone does things you don't think make sense.

"Iraqi police stations, Army bases, and prisons."
Not American ones. Not American ones in Iraq. Iraqi ones. Contrary to what you might believe, the President of the United States is not the President of Iraq.
As for who deserves it, I think you do, just for being this dumb.
