For instance did you know that Daniel Elsberg got arrested and jailed in the past week for joining with a group to handcuff themselves to the White House fence? There have been a number of large rallies in Washington in the past two weeks, related to the various bills before the Senate. On the other hand everytime S.P. pees we hear about her whether in ridcule or feigned support. I hope Wikileaks keeps it up. I want to know about Bank of America.Alicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342376107250139964.post-63715777201340818632010-12-20T15:08:27.498-05:002010-12-20T15:08:27.498-05:00I saw on Facebook, that sometime reader MARGARET h...I saw on Facebook, that sometime reader MARGARET has recommended this wham-bam article: <br /><br />http://dissidentvoice.org/2010/12/a-tale-of-two-websites/Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494196266134594302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342376107250139964.post-20837845276448762142010-12-18T15:04:37.667-05:002010-12-18T15:04:37.667-05:00You're absolutely right about the media spread...You're absolutely right about the media spreading the information.I don't think Assange could disseminate this information so widely all by himself. <br /><br />However, this is what the media are supposed to do, we can't be too surprised. My gripe with them is they edit out lots of news people might need to know, or ought to know, and throw in so much gossipy tripe.Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494196266134594302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342376107250139964.post-14859388684798646832010-12-17T06:02:37.950-05:002010-12-17T06:02:37.950-05:00Good point about the Saudis.

The US people should know who's pressuring the US to take on Iran - before they are duped yet again.Irenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342376107250139964.post-74447921965883855402010-12-17T05:59:48.953-05:002010-12-17T05:59:48.953-05:00It's clear that if the person wasn't Julia...It's clear that if the person wasn't Julian Assange - then the Swedish govt would not be pursuing this case - in fact, the police were not even going to investigate the matter. I would like to see the secret correspondence which shows that the US govt is pressuring the Swedish authorities to pursue the rape charge. It's the only law he's possibly broken - the only way they can get him. BTW - isn't the US govt the party at fault here for not protecting their classified info? How embarrassing - who's going to tell them anything anymore!!! Finally, I have never been on Wikileaks. No one I know ever has. So why do I know so much about the leaked information? Because the mainstream media has distributed the stolen information far and wide. Is this a crime too?Irenenoreply@blogger.com
