The big wikileaks thread

Let me guess, without reading, this thread has lefty British students saying well done Wikileaks, and Americans calling for Assange to be assasinated?

Don't know why they are worried. I was yawning with boredom over what I read, couldn't even be bothered to finish it, so what's the big deal?

So obvious the allegations about the guy are a rather large 'coincidence'. The authorities are so arrogant nowadays they don't even try and be subtle.

the fact that most people believe Julian Assange has a lot to do with these leaks is laughable. He is merely the figurehead, the spokesman, the P.R manager.

He does not run wikileaks, we know very little about the people who do. Arresting/assassinating Assange will do very little to harm the operation of wikileaks, the only difference would be that a new spokesman would be appointed.

You can not credit Assange with everything wikileaks is doing, he is just a cog in the machine.

I highly doubt it anyway, the Jester guy seems like a fake, somebody who is just trying to credit for someone else's work.

"Former WikiLeaks supporters at odds with founder Julian Assange will..."

I wonder why.

Could mean anything really:

1) Trying to gain personal recognition thats why they names their group alongside 'leaks'

2) If Wikileaks is put out of business and J.Assange himself is sent to prison or killed then perhaps another platform for it to carry on.

3) For others to follow in the same steps as them...

Though he appears to have committed no crime in the States, the administration is under enormous pressure to find some way of punishing the Australian for unleashing a stream of diplomatic embarrassments on to the internet.

i guess they REALLY dont want some other stuff getting out :P

I think we all realise this. None the less, he is the martyr.

I swear the Americans are desperate to make LOIC the biggest botnet in internet history or something :\

The Americans are so drugged by their own press its becoming questionable if they even appreciate the retaliation from the rest of the world for touching Assange.

Anyone who's claiming that the people who DDoS these websites are hackers are being ridiculous. They are nothing more than mere packet kiddies.
