US diplomatic cables to be dropped by wikileaks; US doing pre-emptive damage control

[Correction]

Nothing good can come from this being publicized... What are these fools trying to gain? -_-

Not sure if serious or dumb.

[Kurokikaze]

Just oblivious. First time I've heard of this group. Sorry. ;x

[Correction]

You live in the media capital of the world and have never heard of Julian Assange or Wikileaks?

[BerenTebogo]

So the answer was 'dumb'.

[Kurokikaze]

I guess so. Saw him mentioned on the Time Magazine thread but never cared to look him up. :/

[Demosthenes11]

why would anyone want transparency in their government, accountability, and an end to tyrannical action?

GOVERNMENTS CAN'T HAVE SECRETS. GOD.

If I can stop reading the cables as "SHOUTING", and learn to ignore the all caps format, this will be interesting. I hope they put this into their networking site where you can rate each other and post findings.

Some of the analysis on Guardian and WP, the personal opinion about so and so's nick name.. are coming across as some one's gossip during their lunch break so I prefer reading them directly from WL though it is slow from traffic. I don't understand how they are blaming all of this particular leak on Manning if they have some cables from this year, though I need to X reference the earliest one with his arrest date.

Eager to see the stuff from the 1960's.
WL tweeted that tomorrow they are going to post up information on how other media groups can apply for embargo access to cables. Wonder what qualifies as a media group in their standards. It would be cool if BG could apply..eh just a thought.


Here is a link from DerSpiegel to a chart pic with a key to all of the different parts of a sample cable.

If anyone is confused about the lack of coverage or commentating on this leak, it's because the world is silently reading documents. This shit is fascinating.

Personally I'm glad. I hope there's all kinds of juicy dirt that exposes our government's ugly face in a way that's so blatant even the most blindly patriotic moron can't help but be ashamed of it. It's time this government stops being the shitfuckhole it is and gets the enema it so desperately needs and deserves.

edit: has anyone found out yet why the US seems so interested in Paraguay?

It really is. I find the Us/Russ joint threat assmnt talks one from Feb/10 is incredibly interesting.
There is coverage on a live timeline update page on MSNBC too but their nightnews said something about the DOS attack preventing WL from updating their own site. WL did not say that the attack prevented it though.

I guess tomorrow all the media agencies will pile on. It is even fun watching WL's Twitter.

Interesting tidbit concerning the Korea's.
