I seriously believe that these documents could change EVERYTHING regarding Homeland Security, the US and terrorism in general.
Either the document leaks are going to make personal rights a thing of the past or governments much much more accountable.
This has the potential to be one of the biggest stories with one of the biggest effects on peoples thinking in decades.
*agrees*
It was highly ironic that those rapist claims arised when they did. By now it should be common knowledge that certain people of notable stature around the world have their tongue in each others arses (the Australian government has it's head so far up the US it's not funny, so Lassange is unlikely to get any support from Julia Gillard), unfortunately some still haven't noticed since they're kept distracted by bright lights and smoke screens, as well as constantly brain washed with propaganda....hurray for media.
Thankfully Wikileaks, combined with activist groups like the Zeitgeist movement/Venus project, will gradually reach more and more people throughout the globe...hopefully it eventuates in mass demonstrations, just like in Egypt although around the world, causing economies to crash and these "one world government" figures to finally burn along with their ideals.
Much better than Zoo nominating Assange as "UnAustralian of the Year"
Who knows whats going on? Some sections of the media praise him as a hero of free speech and other sections label him as dangerous. This could even be deliberate. It's getting confusing.
It's an eye opener that Hillary Clinton says nations rely on America for open and accountable government while condemning the release of the info which clearly shows corruption and others in government and media calling for his murder.
While I think most Aussies would be in support of Assange, the Zoo journalist is probably falling for the media smear campaign. Either that, or it's could be a feature that has come from the head editor, which came from their publisher, APC magazines; owned by the Nine Entertainment Company, with Adrian MacKenzie being one of the directors; this being an acquisition of CVC Asia Pacific Capital Partners, featuring co-founder Donald MacKenzie as a managing director; which was originally set up as the European arm of US bank Citicorp, a division of Citigroup Incorporated, who was the first contributor to New York's Federal Reserve Bank.
New World Order anyone?
