  • Hard News: The Wellington Cables,

    Why did both governments consciously keep the news quiet?

    1. Helen would have had to admit it and that would not be a good Labour look before the election. Far better to just let things ramble along as if we were real mates but not look like we were assisting. 2. People carving up balloons in Spy Valley. Especially with the Govt throwing the naughty boys the compensation bill. It too makes a good look to the yanks. And for local consumption we couldn't have it coming out in the middle of the court case could we.

    What it does show is that the Govt(s) cannot trust it's citizenry. And that is sad and bad.

    Thanks Nicky. You done good. Keep it up.

    Gaurdian mention of Israel:

    Israel can be seen maintaining discreet contact with Gulf states and have an intriguing intelligence link to Saudi Arabia.

    Pres Lula:

    President Lula says he is to register his protest at Assange's arrest on his blog. "This chap was only publishing something he read," he said. "And if he read it, it is because somebody wrote it. The guilty one is not the publisher, it is the person who wrote [these things].

    Someone who focuses on the message rather than the messenger. Oh what a message to get through!

    And off a Wired page just in case the Red Side finds something:

    It’s possible that terrorists, insurgents, extremists and wannabes are still Control-F’ing their way through the first tranche of 77,000 documents. If you see anything floating over the jihadisphere about WikiLeaks, let us know in comments.

    Confused may not be the word but certainly he has been trailing the wanted tag for a while.

  • Hard News: Wikileaks: The Cable Guys, in reply to Russell Brown,

    On the other hand, I have access to such information via various laws passed and publicly debated by a democratically elected Parliament.

    Had you SIS file delivered to you yet???

  • OnPoint: Pay Attention,

    He has waited quite a while to finally drop himself off at the cop shop in London Town. Once the "Wanted" was out I s'pose he was truly on the run. Nothing like giving one self up to garner a bit of sympathy. But I just cannot be convinced that the activity of the Swedish Police in trying to bring rape charges is not a coincidence to the latest drop of data. What does the USA have on the Swedes to convince them to pursue this?

    And nothing like taking on the messenger to put the hounds off the smell of the message. Well timed without a doubt. I will eat my hat if it turns out that the case has some traction and he gets done. My buck is on that he ends up in Sweden, get extradited to the US, friends of Wikileaks leaks the so-called hidden "atomic bomb" and he doesn't get out for 10 years. But put away for what? Who knows.

    Thu 08 Jun 2006 : The history of warfare
    The history of warfare is similarly subdivided, although here the phases
    are Retribution, Anticipation, and Diplomacy. Thus:

    Retribution:
    I'm going to kill you because you killed my brother.
    Anticipation:
    I'm going to kill you because I killed your brother.
    Diplomacy:
    I'm going to kill my brother and then kill you on the
    pretext that your brother did it.
