Re:Assange knew this was coming but.... (Score 1)

If anyone thinks Assange and Wikileaks didn't see they this was going to make them a target of the goverment, well give us a call when you get back from Fantasy Island. . Assange knew before hand this wasn't going to make him Employee Of The Month with anyone in the Various goverments that are involved in Afghanistan. Thhe other Papers that got the info before it came Public was almost a form of insurance in case he got caught with the info before Wikileaks put it in the public eye. I don't agree with Assange's crass attitude to The floks at Amnensty International and those that pleaded with him to " take innocent peoples names that could be put in harms way out of the documnets" . I think thats more than resonable and a proper thing to do and yopu would think Assange for all his drum banging and chest beating about the publics rights for this, and the protections for that would be concrened as well. Well not entirely it seems, when Assange didn't like what Amnest had to say, his response was to tell them he put bout a press release unless they bowed to his wishes, and then later on Assange posted on Wikileaks' Twitter feed saying " the site, which claims it has 800 volunteers, needs $700,000 to conduct a "harm-minimization review". A later Tweet added: "Pentagon wants to bankrupt us by refusing to assist review. Media won't take responsibility. Amnesty won't. What to do?"" Huh?? Assange seem to be letting the popularity he and Wikileaks are getting inflate his ego a tad too much, so know the Media or Amnesty responsible for posting the info if it puts people in harms way? Assange seems to need to have some one else is to blame, when things get hot in the Kitchen Assange having obtained a load of documents that belong to someone else, didn't seem to be worried that if they make the documents wen't public a number of people may die as a result??? Assange seems to have the belief that the responsibility for any such deaths will lie with the military from whom the documents were taken, Amnesty International and the Media. Assange seems to believe that anybody but he or Wikileaks will bare responsiblity for the results of actions which He choose to take. Yes the goverment has culpability too, but they didnt choose to leak this documents with anyones name in it did. He doesn't think those against the Taliban or groups they have ties with will punish those who help any foreign agency or goverment. Well your worng Assange there have been plenty of storeis about that going on and everyone knows this. Assange seems to have drank to much of his own Jonestown Kool-Aid drunk on power and seems to have developed a sense of self importance that is beyond what has to do with wy Wikileaks was started and what the beliefs and reasons behind it were. Assange is driving a fine vehicle of democracy on the wrong side of the road, and he's damn well liable to kill people while driving down it. Assange has seemingly forgotten that with power comes responsibilty, he expects other to take responsibilty and be accountable for their actions, but then shirks it when it comes to his own. C'mon Assange you can't have it both ways...

Wiki leaks can do what they want with the documents... If anyone get's nicked in the process blame the bloody U.S!!! it not wikileaks fault they cant keep their own info secret or trust the people under their control, assange isn't dumb enough to go to the u.s and get arrested, so what the hell is the u.s. going to do ????They have to go and recruit some of their war mongering friends to help in the assisnation of assange and wikleaks and thata what this will be , maybe all these war mongering nations will stay the hell out of everyone else buisness and worry about their own shit in their own countries
