Cablegate, the Game

Posted by timothy on from the just-a-hopeless-semantic dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Cablegate: The Game is a game where players can read, tag and summarize the recently released US Embassy Cables. Points are awarded for finding the most tags in a cable." I wish this game were extended to more news sources generally — automated scans are nice, but can't (yet) make all the connections humans can.

    Don't worry, there are another 5+ billion people out there who aren't US citizens and don't have to worry about intimidation by the feds. It may not be the best, and our government may be full of crazies too right now, but I'm proud to be Canadian anyway.

    Actually, I'm getting rather tired of the bias slashdot editors have shown for wikileaks.

    What bias? Slasdhot editors support Wikileaks. Show me one good reason why they shouldn't? It's not Slashdot's fault all the arguments for NOT supporting Wikileaks are shitty arguments. Doing what's right is not the same as showing bias.

    For those of us who do have to worry about clearances sticking a god damned link straight to the applet in the article is a bit too much...They finally get it right on the one material I don't to go anywhere near.

    How the fuck did you get US security clearance if you can't even use basic English?

    Too bad I was actually a slashdot supporter and funded this horseshit. Thankfully everyone has choices and can choose where to provide support. For instance, I no longer choose to support this website and consequently I will not be renewing my subscription.

    Liar.
