Wikileaks

Hi, Antionliners.

Wikileaks: Heroes or Villains?

First of all, I have to put the issue on a political view. So, the spreadinga and condemnation
of hidden crimes seems good to me. But the hype on this shady Assange guy is so high that
I keep a suspicious eye on him.

Back to security-related issues: recent attacks at paypal were widely supported by many
groups that are growing like mushrooms on social sites as Twitter. They even have a motto...
Loading my Lazors - related to a simple stress-testing application called LOIC.

let me add I've tried to view some of the Wikileak
documents and they are only available via torrents apparently.
There's decades' worth of material there and no quick way
to get thru it, IMO.

The AES-Key for the torrent file will be released if Assange captivity will get worse,
as he could be sent to the US for trial.

What would Assange be on trial for in the US??

Freedom of speach???

I've downloaded three files pertaining to 9/11 (debunking conspiracy theories
is my hobby) and none were encrypted. Wikileaks is in possession of a great
deal of data. It is mind-boggling, and in fact most is being withheld from
release. It's the unreleased files that are probably encrypted "insurance".

The whole issue of Wikileaks' documents, or are they US gov't property still?, is
getting deeper as demonstrated by this headline from the Washington Post:

Job hunters should steer clear of WikiLeaks site

Assange is a journalist, as such he writes, releases information, hero or criminal neither, a freelance hack doing a job. He may be a rapist, let his trial decide that.

The criminals in this episode are the ones that either leaked or allowed to leak. Manning deserves the full justice of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the death penalty. He broke the faith with his fellow servicemen/women. Every US Serviceman/woman is schooled in the UCMJ within weeks of entrance to the service, he knew what he was doing was wrong.

People like Manning, John Anthony Walker (google it, he was really bad news) deserve to die for aiding and abetting the enemy.

Very true. I don't think they went after the journalists during the whole 'deepthroat' fiasco.
