Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs I don't think I want any classified military documents on my hard drive, but thanks anyway
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs interesting story there about a small firebase called "Keaton" in afghanistan

Wikileaks in the News yet again In case you live under a rock and missed it: The War Logs - Interactive Feature - NYTimes.com "The articles published today are based on thousands of United States military incident and intelligence reports — records of engagements, mishaps, intelligence on enemy activity and other events from the war in Afghanistan — that were made public on Sunday on the Internet."

Re: Wikileaks in the News yet again So you see something wrong with expressing concern over individuals' privacy being violated?
Re: Wikileaks in the News yet again Yah, but they've learnt from all that - eg: the criticism of WL for how they (were perceived to) have editorialised 'collateral murder' is a large part of the reason why, this time, they relied on established external media to do the contextual analysis and editorialising. I think, give the newness of the operation and the paradigm, there needs to be some allowance for not getting things quite right, and learning as they go.
Re: Wikileaks in the News yet again I swear to God people around here are fucking lazy or oblivious at times. OP, there's already a thread.

Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs Great quote from Assange at the end of that article: "I enjoy creating systems on a grand scale, and I enjoy helping people who are vulnerable," he said. "And I enjoy crushing bastards. So it is enjoyable work."

Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs ABC Radio National covered this as its top story for the morning news today. Top story on the national news, my mouth dropped open as I was driving! This thing is going massive, go wikileaks!
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs Main stream media masturbation. Anyone that has been paying any kind of attention over the last 9 years isn't surprised. Wikileaks America sucks. ZOMG WAR CRIMINALs!
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs Self aggrandizing prick that also enjoys crushing the privacy of individuals.
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs meh, whatever, america is obviously evil and the people involved shouldn't expect any privacy even if their families are going to be targeted by radical muslims. we gots to protect those innocent people that like to stone women to death because they are on holy ground. fucking america is awful because they are in saudi arabia by invitation of the royal family. they are desecrating the holy land by invitation. weight (?) are there some jews trying to stop some flotillas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck them they are evil. fuckers. why can't they just run a plane into as building instead! goddamn atheist. serioius sharia law should be the rule of the land. THANKS WIKILEAKS. YOUR HEROS!!!!!!
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs You saw his TED talk, right? More particularly, the audience opinion, and final ovation. YouTube - Julian Assange: Why the world needs WikiLeaks You are of course entitled to yours, but the TED audience is not exactly made up of stupid or naive people.
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs abc7 Los Angeles Nightline tonight reported on the Wikileaks dox. They also showed how Wikileaks had doxed the C of S. LULZ.
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs I actually think that wikileaks serves an important function. I just think Julian is a tree hugging hippie that has no real foundation in real life because he is so disconnected from people (37 different schools - couldn't and didn't form real lasting relationships with anyone). He's pissed at mommy and daddy because of that situation. Oh well. He's a bad ass because he has rebellion in his genes. He said so himself.
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs I think if we look just at Wikileaks, that would suffice. Why is the founder involving himself lately?

Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs In our world of dox or GTFO, you might have a point. The legacy world runs on PR and money. PR and raising dosh is what he's doing - plus it's becoming more and more obvious he needs a decent segment of legacy media onside for WL to achieve it's aims.
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs Wikileaks, you are a goldmine Good job to the one who leaked the dox, i'm also listening to a rerun of Democracy Now talking about it all. It's almost over (radio station: CIUT.FM: Alternative Radio & Interesting Music: African, Celtic, Contemporary Dance, Funk, Hardcore Punk, Indie Rock, New Hip Hop, R&B Hip Hop, Salsa, Underground Tunes and Much More!

Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs Assange looks to be letting his ego play a bit. I know it's an oversimplification, but information is knowledge, knowledge is power, and power corrupts, we're merely seeing the seeds of that corruption. But, he's identified himself as the 'head' of wikileaks, and as such, has now made himself and his entire project vulnerable to the vissicitudes of identity. lolno. Posting on a forum spawned from a series of anonymous message boards should make it perfectly obvious why this is not the case.
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs Bloody clever of them to work out which 15,000 documents they've opted to withhold then! They're just making it up as they go. Typical fucking daily mail bullshit. At least if you access the article via the home page, it's apparent it's an opinion piece, and not 'news'.
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs Lolno at you. It's beyond obvious that the strategy of working with The Guardian, NYT, and Der Spiegel has been effective on multiple fronts.
Re: Wikileaks, Afghanistan: The War Logs Who are these "individuals" in which you speak of? Care to give any names?
