WikiLeaks Begins Release of 2.5m Syrian Emails

Posted by timothy on from the so-no-stopping-at-the-syrian-embassy dept.

judgecorp writes "WikiLeaks has started publishing 2.5 million emails from Syrian political figures and other bodies. The material will embarrass Syria, as well as other governments according to Julian Assange (still hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London). As well as revealing the behaviour of the Syrian regime, the emails will also expose the hypocrisy of other governments and companies, Assange has said."

    ...some real, possibly world-changing leaks stories instead of all the crap about Assange and his whereabouts.

    There was a news report on Danish television about the Syrian regime and how it's treating dissidents. That was not pleasant to watch.

    Look at it from HIS point of view though.

    If he did not rape those women, then he's got a corrupt government and police force on a witch hunt, trying to frame him far a crime he didn't commit. Presumably, this is being done by Sweden at the behest of the US government, which wants his head served up on a platter. Why anyone surrender himself to that situation. It's not like he'd get anything resembling a fair trial, in Sweden, or here after the inevitable rendition.Â

    If he DID rape those women, then he really is a scumbag of scumbags, every bit as bad... worse... as the republicans here make him out to be. Why would you expect that a lowlife like that would have even a sliver of honor? And every second he dodges extradition is another second he dodges justice and if free to rape again.Â

    Innocent *or* guilty, his circumstances don't exactly favor surrender.
