Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Ok, fair point but how culpable is he of this crime? He didnt steal them in the first place, he published them. Extradition to the US and then life imprisonment for this? Because he is a twat? As for this Swedish bird, if they can stitch up Strauss Kahn because he opposes austerity, they can stitch up an egotistical subversive from wikileaks. Have to take issue with this comment. Strauss Kahn appears to be in a bracket with the Herman Cains and Bill Clintons of the world, where numerous women come forward with claims of sexual harassment, assault and so on. It is fair to suspect them of being psychopaths, unless we assume all these women are lying. Assange is not of that ilk: beyond the two wikileaks groupies, who, judging by the statements they have released so far, appear to have given him the come-on (and subsequently accused him of 'sex by surprise'--ie slipping it in sans rubber), there are no other claims of rape or harassment coming out of the woodwork. There was a woman he tried it on with, sending her gloopy, cringeworthy emails which were eventually published, but after his woeful and unsuccessful attempts to woo her--so typical of the nerd culture he comes from--there was no wrongdoing.

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Wikileaks is no different and would like to work with the US government in redacting sensitive information not in the public interest. However, the US government views the NYT more favourably and refuses to work with Wikileaks to that end. It is the US government that is therefore responsible for any information getting out there that they deem irresponsible. See the linked letter from the Department of Defense to Wikileaks which says as much. http://openanthropol...8/gc-letter.pdf This is NOT restricted to Assange and Manning by the way. See the stat provided above. Look at the cases of John Kiriakou and Tom Drake. Shamai Liebowitz, Jeffrey Sterling and James Risen from a cursory google search. Do the crime do the time.

Happy Face 29 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 also found one about him in the Iraq cables... "Bush seeks to maintain some modicum of power and avoid thehumiliation imposed by the deadlines and modalities of an unavoidable withdrawal. Nonetheless, politics often shows no mercy to losers. Bob Dylan said it a long time ago - you do not need to be a meteorologist to know what the direction of the wind is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 On March 16, 2016 WikiLeaks launched a searchable archive for 30,322 emails & email attachments sent to and from Hillary Clinton's private email server while she was Secretary of State. The 50,547 pages of documents span from 30 June 2010 to 12 August 2014. 7,570 of the documents were sent by Hillary Clinton. The emails were made available in the form of thousands of PDFs by the US State Department as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request. The final PDFs were made available on February 29, 2016. https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 May 9 2010 Clegg remains in negotiations. He seems quite intent on working it out with Cameron, it appears. His inner Tory magnetically draws him to his heritage. Clegg has also misplayed almost every turn, presented with big chances and blowing them through a combination of inexperience (derived partly from heading a party out of power for nearly 100 years) and inbred arrogance (from no less a privileged background than Cameron, though seeming less snobbish because he went to Westminster instead of Eton and has a less pronounced upper-class accent). https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 18293 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Seven and a half thousand pages and that's the worst piece of grammar you could find? Her judgement of Clegg was spot on BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't her, was her advisor's view of Clegg. And I've only read 2, I'm sure there's worse, but reminded me of the Hitchens quote about spending time with people in power to discover they're fucking idiots... paraphrasing.

Renton 18293 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hardly though. I personally find the most intelligent people tend not to be anal about grammar especially in ephemeral communication. It's not important, and I'm saying this as an ex-proof writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9340 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hardly though. I personally find the most intelligent people tend not to be anal about grammar especially in ephemeral communication. It's not important, and I'm saying this as an ex-proof writer. Big difference between the occasional typo or the omission of punctuation, and using the wrong words, though. I certainly wouldn't send a work email containing an error like that when it costs nothing to get it right. Of course, being bothered about this kind of thing has always drawn criticism. As if not caring about clarity of language is something to aspire to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
