I never took it that way, I have nowt to do with the wikileaks community. EDIT: I may have some Geek like tendencies if i'm honest though.

and you're making up my opinion for me ? The most tedious thing of all is this obsession with the US and the thinking that we have a "right to know" classified information from within government. There's nothing "blind" about it, its the way it is, and quite right too. Why do you keep quoting "right to know"? Who are you quoting? No-one disagrees that a government is well within it's rights to try to keep information confidential. If, however, the people ordered to keep it confidential believe it's not in the public interest to do so, and they choose to leak it, then they have whistleblower protection rights that should be honoured, and a free press have a duty to print those leaks without government retribution. You're saying people leaking stories should be killed, which is disgusting, and exactly the sort of thing you've said OTHERS should be killed for....you've supported the death sentence (without charge) of an American citizen (Awlaki). The only crime he's accused of is inciting murder on the internet. By your own argument, you could be killed without charge for your dangerous views.

What "other side" do you imagine I have more sympathy with like? You're the one endorsing chinese style government suppression of a free press.

ah, nobody is perfect Parky, indeed. But the west, is infinitely less "evil" and corrupt than other parts of the world, which is how we are able to come on here and say so..... Irony lost on HF, the modern equivalent of the old CND supporters and naive appeasers of old It's not an irony, it's a fact I'm aware of and grateful for......it's a right I think we should protect...rather than banning Wikileaks...and turning into china.

That this has proven to be the juiciest one yet Where have I said the US are the bad boys? Amazing you can call me naive for wanting to know the facts and wanting a free press that will actually chase them, wheras you seem to want nothing more than blissful ignorance. who said I want blissful ignorance ? You have a bee in your bonnet because you think you have a "right to know", but you do not. Confidentiality and "need to know" are necessary in this world. Like it or not, such things exist and they exist for a reason. A reason you clearly don't understand. More imaginary arguments I've never said we have a right to know everything. I have no problem with confidentiality whatsoever...when called for. Do you believe confidentiality was imperative for every one of the more than half a million documents wikileaks have released in their 3 recent major dumps? Do you believe governments never make use of confidentiality to cover up wrong doing where there is no national security risk?

I notionally endorse the wishing of a happy birthday too, if in fact it is your birthday.

Wikileaks get investigated, but otherwise left to operate (as they do) within the law as long as they're providing evidence of lowly soldiers killing and torturing, even though they're following orders......but the moment diplomats, politicians, ambassadors and anyone with an ounce of power is embarrassed in the slightest, the full force of political pressure is brought upon them to shut down the entire operation. Really ruffled feathers with this....the least shocking of their releases. Sorry Leazes. I know how much you despise anyone harping on about being right.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/dec/0...kileaks-account Dissent will not be tolerated. Hey! But paypal and facebook and all this stuff is cool man! It's like all revolutionary and stuff...We're the kids baby and it's like made us free and shit....blah blah blah... Following the lead of Daniel Elsberg... I’m disgusted by Amazon’s cowardice and servility in abruptly terminating its hosting of the Wikileaks website, in the face of threats from Senator Joe Lieberman and other Congressional right-wingers. I want no further association with any company that encourages legislative and executive officials to aspire to China’s control of information and deterrence of whistle-blowing. I ask Amazon to terminate immediately my account, to delete my contact and credit information from their files and to send me no more notices. I understand that many other regular customers feel as I do and are responding the same way. Good: the broader and more immediate the boycott, the better. I hope that these others encourage their contact lists to do likewise and to let Amazon know exactly why they’re shifting their business. So far Amazon has spared itself the further embarrassment of trying to explain its action openly. This would be a good time for Amazon insiders who know and perhaps can document the political pressures that were brought to bear–and the details of the hasty kowtowing by their bosses–to leak that information. They can send it to Wikileaks (now on servers outside the US), to mainstream journalists or bloggers, or perhaps to sites like antiwar.com that have now appropriately ended their book-purchasing association with Amazon. Yours (no longer), Happy Face >>You should receive a response from one of our representatives within 12 hours. Follow suit people, you know it makes sense.

As predicted..... Wikileaks get investigated, but otherwise left to operate (as they do) within the law as long as they're providing evidence of lowly soldiers killing and torturing, even though they're following orders......but the moment diplomats, politicians, ambassadors and anyone with an ounce of power is embarrassed in the slightest, the full force of political pressure is brought upon them to shut down the entire operation.

http://213.251.145.96/ When was the last time political pressure was put onto US companies not to sell (for example) The Washington Post for revealing embarrassing stories? Land of the free....emulating China.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...ml?hpid=topnews http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/dec/0...-servers-amazon The US walked straight into his trap.

Parky just spunked in his lederhosen.

A sentence that paints a thousand pictures.

The full quote is "If indeed it is the case, as alleged by the Pentagon, that the young soldier - Bradley Manning - is behind some of our recent disclosures, then he is without doubt an unparalleled hero." Small difference but we wouldn't want Leazes or Kunt having a pop at him for endangering Wikileaks sources.

Neither does Sarah Palin. That's what makes her cries of "treason!" so hilarious.
