russell jones Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I know I have to be late to the party on this one: http://wikileaks.org/ Some of you will love this... if you're not already. Check out the first story on top: "This document is a classifed (SECRET/NOFORN) 32 page U.S. counterintelligence investigation into WikiLeaks. ``The possibility that current employees or moles within DoD or elsewhere in the U.S. government are providing sensitive or classified information to Wikileaks.org cannot be ruled out''. It concocts a plan to fatally marginalize the organization. Since WikiLeaks uses ``trust as a center of gravity by protecting the anonymity and identity of the insiders, leakers or whisteblowers'', the report recommends ``The identification, exposure, termination of employment, criminal prosecution, legal action against current or former insiders, leakers, or whistlblowers could potentially damage or destroy this center of gravity and deter others considering similar actions from using the Wikileaks.org Web site''. [As two years have passed since the date of the report, with no WikiLeaks' source exposed, it appears that this plan was ineffective]. As an odd justificaton for the plan, the report claims that ``Several foreign countries including China, Israel, North Korea, Russia, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe have denounced or blocked access to the Wikileaks.org website''. The report provides further justification by enumerating embarrassing stories broken by WikiLeaks---U.S. equipment expenditure in Iraq, probable U.S. violations of the Chemical Warfare Convention Treaty in Iraq, the battle over the Iraqi town of Fallujah and human rights violations at Guantanamo Bay." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christo-f Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Food is pretty good and they buy a huge amount of Australian raw materials as well. I can also buy Australian beer cheaper here than I can back home, that's a plus. I think life down south in places like Kunming things are different though. I haven't made it there myself but everyone says it's a world away from the attitudes up here in the north. Anyway, Enough threads have been derailed by my China rants, this one is about wikileaks. Back to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
