And, referencing the leaked memoirs of war, here's Flanagan's defense: "...there's stuff in there that could cause a war!". Warning: the following scene contains violence.

And more than likely land him some pretty nifty high paying posts. In fact, once the pr machine has sufficiently scraped the spurs and prettied the comment up, I see Harper cabinet in his future. Quite a diff from your everyday bullying eh. Bullying notes: replace words blow the fucker(s) up with more sophisticated assassination. _________________ Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game.

What really scares me about these two high profile idiots is the fact there are others just as idiotic and clueless as them, and who will agree with what they say! _________________ "Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act."

Although I was initially very excited about the wikileaks concept, I quickly came to realize why it would never become the game changer that it held itself out to be (or that I had originally thought wide open access to bureaucratic secrets would bring about). Haroon Siddiqui makes some good observations in his column, What the WikiLeaks documents fail to tell. Whoever is behind this put-on is having a laugh at all the media hysteria - and so is Assange, most likely. _________________ Time is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor.

Nor have I ever thought of WikiLeaks as anything more than a media organization. Even money for their legal support in the past has come from many media associations, including the Associated Press, Los Angeles Times, and the National Newspaper Publishers Association. Game changing? I don't know, WikiLeaks is very young and with the war logs has only recently moved from the crawling stage into the toddling stage. I'm not sure what the future will hold or how it will play out corpolitically. But I am anxious to watch as it unfolds. Quote: Who is Julian Assange? 1. The first, Assange is exactly as he appears, and that is one of the most providential men on the face of the earth. 2. Second, maybe he has a benefactor greasing the skids for him. 3. Third, and the one I’m pulling for, is that Assange possesses a digital weapon of mass destruction, rigged with a dead man’s switch, that makes him unassailable. edited = added link & quote _________________ "Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act."

Is it that wikileaks is possibly, or resembles more, a plot to further public resentment/hatred towards Iraq? _________________ Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game.

Never mind about your macdonald's fries disappearing - now that Assange has turned himself in (or 'been captured' as will be soon be the headlines) I think we should keep our eyes on the wikileak founder. _________________ Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game.

But assuming any of this report has merit, I can't say at this point that I disagree with cherry picking to solely embarrass and out America. Tough job since it's influence (nice word) has left few countries untouched (another nice word). What we do know is basics are usually buried in bullshit and the smell ultimately divert our eyes to the pile. But like it or not, good or bad yet to be determined, the wikileaks event will for sure impact the Story _________________ Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game.

Maybe the best strategy for them is to deny Sweden's extradition request for Assange. Apparently, extradition is fairly common between Western European nations. But, given the trumped-up look of the Swedish charges, the UK can strike a positive chord for real democracy by not sending Assange to Sweden. The US media (undoubtedly, by intent) has done a very poor job of covering the ongoing Swedish "sex crime" prosecution of Assange, but independent sources in Sweden and Australia have covered it much better. Here is a link to an article written by one of Assange's attorneys in Melbourne: http://xrl.us/bh92yx This article doesn't even go into the CIA and NATO connections of one of Assange's accusers. I guess If they can't comfortably kill him literally, attacking him in other ways may work nearly as well.
