Wiki Leaks Blows the Lid off Again

[Emmortal]

A massive release of hundreds of thousands of documents spills the beans on everything from US embassies spying on the UN to Russian Mafia being in bed with Putin (surprise).

Good stuff and should be interesting to see what else comes out of it.

The wikileaks guy is toast, he just fucked with the Russians/Putin.

[Dos Equis]

Someone is going to take that guy out. 

[Emmortal]

Doesn't matter if they do, he has quite a few people working with him and many ways of getting information to them without ever meeting face to face.

It's quite amusing that some senators are calling it an act of "treason" to release the information.  Maybe they should look up the definition of treason since he isn't a citizen of the US.

[Emmortal]

One of the bigger things to come out of this is the news of Saudia Arabia and Jordan pressuring the US to attack Iran.  Not something Iran is going to be too happy to hear about.

Like I would expect a senator to know what treason is , Well the Russians have ways of finding people, I see alot of people either going into hiding or disappearing not of their own accord.

Assange?  What senators called for him to be tried for treason?

So far this has been a big yawn.  Nothing earth shaking so far.

You don't consider Arab nations in support of bombing Iran big news?

This is surprising to you? Anyone who has done any reading on the Middle East would know that Iran is loathed by every Sunni-majority Muslim country. It was reported earlier this year that Saudi Arabia gave Israel tacit approval to use their airspace on an Iranian bombing run.

These are another set of revelations most people already knew and will be forgotten in three weeks like the rest of them.

People will try to blow them up into something huge (Hi, Samson) and in a few weeks no one will care.

What's news is that people didn't know that Iran is hated by most Middle Eastern countries and their people. Sunni Muslims and Shiite Muslims do not get along. They never have and they never will.

Does anyone really think the Sunni Muslim countries in the Middle East want a nuclear-armed Iran? 

[Dos Equis]

Sure it would matter.  I doubt people working with him would be inclined to risk their lives to disclose info if someone took him out.  

[Emmortal]

Redacted =)

[Soul Crusher]

Not at all.  do you guys ever listen to john batchelor at night?   This has been know for over a year.

[Fury]

The fact that this guy hasn't been assassinated yet speaks wonders about how the "severity" of these leaks.....aka they don't mean dick.

It's obviously not surprising to me in the least bit, for it to come out with blatant documentation of these two countries calling for military strikes or "whatever means necessary" to stop Irans nuclear program is big news to a lot of people.

Why? Like I said, DEBKA reported earlier this year that Saudi Arabia already gave Israel clearance to use their airspace in a bombing run of Iran's nuclear facilities.

The most revealing things from these leaks, in my opinion, is the link between the Russian Mob and Russian government. The Russians have spent years assassinating journalists and dissidents who got in too deep on this topic.

Gengrich and King are calling it an act of treason:

http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/wikileaks-newt-gingrich-treason/2010/07/31/id/366209

They're talking about the American who provided the info.

Did you actually read what you linked?  They're both talking about the Americans behind the leaks.  And Gingrich isn't a senator (nor was he).

America would never spy. CTers

Yes, simple mistake, I'll redact that.

Doh!  Beat me to it!

[Fury]

I've got to tip my hat to Hillary for spying on the UN. That organization, comprised of dictators, despots and tyrants, is the most corrupt and useless organization on the planet and seems to exist for no other reason than to bleed us dry while destroying our sovereignty.

[Soul Crusher]

Hillary may be a lot things, but I know she is not a traitor. 

Shit - she used to be a major goldwater girl in her youth.

I think you mean "retract"?
