I'm all for transparency in government and holding people in power responsible, but there's an entire world of governments out there that should have their actions (or lack thereof, depending on the issue) scrutinized by the public, not just America.
currently, as you are seeing, america is the main problem on the free speech rights and freedom of thought, in the part of the world that is supposedly free.
once we, the people, win on that front, we can get to china, russia.
dont be too irky because your country, government is now on the fireline. as you can see, they stopped being YOUR country, government, loooong ago.
All Wikileaks has done has given the US an excuse to stick a big red button on the internet and shut bits of it down when it chooses.
so it wasnt gonna do that if wikileaks wasnt around eh ?
that should be why bush & co started the preparations for acta back in 2002, and started going around for it in 2004. that is probably why they attacked net neutrality in 2006. and the reason for coica, schmoica is also that.
i believe most of those disappearances of people in those other countries can be attributed to cia. as in the case of the german citizen being kidnapped from the middle of europe.
there are better ways to do it. that is the reason why it has never been done and successful before.
wake up. if it was possible to do it in any other way, it would have been done.

wikileaks is the manifestation of the power of internet. internet's uncontrollability, freedom, communication, collaboration. all of these combine to make wikileaks and what it tells us possible.
had this been any newspaper, none of these news would make the headline. had they made, rest would be suppressed.
we are seeing internet show its power, through people, even if the establisment tries to suppress it.
2100+ mirrors. that many people put up private server space to help wikileaks. that is, not even counting the people who are spreading messages, links, articles.
it interests all of us. its internet in its purest form, as how it should be. if it doesnt interest you, or you are unable to understand, maybe you should try other sites like digg, or facebook.
they dont. for any anti cartel activity to take action, it needs to be proven that those co.s are acting together, in contact. if, they are just 'adjusting according to the market demands', without having any direct contact with each other, in the way how music industry fixes cd prices, nothing happens.
amazon is a private company and has the right to refuse business to anyone it wants. of course, it may be controlling 60-80-whatever % of online sales, but, it is well within their right to do so.
in the meantime, the citizens of united states, who do not want censorship, can wait for another company to come and challenge them and grab enough market share from them to be accessible and well priced with the same selection. it may take 5-10 years, but hey ! at least, you are free ! even if you may not have the means to practice your freedom until the 'free market' adjusts itself with the act of 'invisible hand' in 10 years !!
american revolution wasnt mounted by psychopathic asshats, trying to seek private profits while sending off the sons of citizens to die in distant lands for their own profit.
of course, if you meant to say, he would have been hanged by the british, that would be correct.
were not cooking CRAP behind the backs of the people, and betraying them, sending them to die off in foreign lands in unwarranted occupations to die for profit of private parties. and then lying about it.
The servicemen may be able to fly a fscking jet fighter, but they are probably not able to get to wikileaks documents through a non-airforce internet connection !!
Que right wing american/.ers in 3,2, 1... im waiting to see how will they defend their country and how will they melt patriotism and their freedoms in the same pot this time.
looking from outside objectively, i see republicans as rabid as berserk dogs. republicans had the congress and senate up until 2007. 'what have they done to fix things' does not put both parties in the same basket. for, one COMMITTED those crimes, the other, didnt fix it.

im going. ill be back when i learned how to read. and write.
it is not within their right to control 60-80-whatever % of the market.
yet, it is ok if 3 companies control 90% in total ... too different ....
+5.

the very crackers you speak of, are from the same sub culture that builds open source. in most cases, they are actually the same people.

i was actually wanting to say 'fisturize'
3) If any American tries to defend these kind of actions by the government they are not Americans.
well they say they are. and actually they label anyone who isnt doing the same, as anti-american, or traitors.
but, its not my expertise area. i specialize in web development on l.a.m.p.
why are you in 2010 instead of being back in 19th century, still ?

Having Michael Moore's documentaries being the Fox News of the left
that is probably fox news' perception. i, as an outsider, see michael moore documentaries pretty much on the spot.
