Of course.. anyone who has worked in defense, intelligence, or counter intelligence will tell you the way to defeat a leak is to flood the channel with noise. The listeners cannot tell the real data from the fabricated junk.Since they have always done that anyway beyond any democratic control, the remedy is to learn to discriminate wisely, not to obstruct counter-information.

Assange made a mighty kick in the balls of the class of people who think they were destined to rule the world. Good good

The empire strikes back QuoteThis prime accuser, Anna Ardin has, according to Israel Shamir, writing on this CounterPunch site, "ties to the US-financed anti-Castro and anti-communist groups. She published her anti-Castro diatribes in the Swedish-language publication Revista de Asignaturas Cubanas put out by Misceláneas de Cuba?Note that Ardin was deported from Cuba for subversive activities."It's certainly not conspiracism to suspect that the CIA has been at work in fomenting these Swedish accusations. As Shamir reports, "The moment Julian sought the protection of Swedish media law, the CIA immediately threatened to discontinue intelligence sharing with SEPO, the Swedish Secret Service."

Wikileaks GS quoteIronic quote of the day, from Kazakhstan, via Wikileaks:The Ambassador asked if the corruption and infighting are worse now than before in Kazakhstan. Idenov paused, thought, and then replied, ?No, not really. It?s business as usual.They?re confused by the corrupt excesses of capitalism. ?If Goldman Sachs executives can make $50 million a year and then run America?s economy in Washington, what?s so different about what we do?? they ask.?

QuoteOriginally posted by: ExSanNYT - BREAKING NEWS5:28 AM ET WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange Has Been Arrested on a Swedish WarrantQuoteShe had snagged perhaps the world?s most famous activist, and after they arrived at her apartment they had sex. According to her testimony to police, Assange wore a condom. The following morning they made love again. This time he used no protection.Jessica reportedly said later that she was upset that he had refused when she asked him to wear a condom.evidently that counts as rape in Sweden

What's the big deal about mr. "Horny Kangaroo" doing some jail time for his tricks with swedish chicks? Is there a law which gives immunity from prosecution for sex crimes if you stole confidential information from a state?

The Murphy Report QuoteWikileaks cables have shed new light on the tensions between the Irish Government and the Vatican during the Murphy investigation into clerical child abuse in the Dublin Archdiocese. After the publication of the report, Taoiseach Brian Cowen agreed that the commission had been incorrect not to have used diplomatic channels. QuoteResponding to the leaks, a prominent survivor of clerical abuse, Andrew Madden, said the Government had protected the Vatican's sovereignty in the affair and had shielded Rome from scrutiny on clerical abuse. A spokesman for the Vatican said it had no comment to make on the controversy.

NYT - Ecuador Grants Asylum to Assange, Defying Britain QuoteThe decision adds to sharp strains between Ecuador and Britain. Just before the announcement of asylum in the Ecuadorean capital, Quito, President Correa said on his Twitter account: "No one is going to terrorize us!"The night before, Foreign Minister Ricardo Patiño said that the British authorities had threatened to force their way into the embassy, to which he responded: "We are not a British colony."
