I think its wrong that they didn't report the truth. That is what wikileaks is all about IMO.

They give you a 75kg sack and say "carry this shit down some stairs and out of the building." If you struggle instead of hurling the thing up on your shoulder and jogging out of the building, you fail.
Hate to say it by most people weigh more than 165lbs, especially in the USA.
But instead they just release these dumps, if only to say "500000 CABLES!"
I keep seeing people saying that they just "dumped" all these cables without going through them first. Even amazon has said "it is not credible that the extraordinary volume of 250,000 classified documents that Wikileaks is publishing could have been carefully redacted in such a way as to ensure that they weren't putting innocent people in jeopardy," I hardly believe this is true. You can check the wikileaks website yourself wikileaks.ch and see that they have only released 842 cables out of the 251,000 they have. Get that facts straight people. Do the research and use your brain.
Julian Assange himself has denied that he's a journalist. Next?
Would it be acceptable to you to call him a free speech activist?
What about printer paper? I couldn't even guess how many times I've grabbed paper out of a printer tray because that was the most readily available.
Ummm. Wouldn't that be plain paper?
NASA doesn't have any lost tapes. If they have found them, they are by definition not lost anymore. I bet there are dozens of tapes that are lost because nobody knows their location but these tapes are not one of them. Correct headline would be "NASA has the found tapes". Sounds redundant? In the human mind that may be the case but if you think about it long enough, you can only come to this conclusion. Being lost is quite a fleeting and interesting feature and has no doubt been studied by filosophers around the ages.
BTW philosophers is spelled with a ph. Furthermore, maybe there should say NASA has found the tapes that were once lost.
