The virtual hunt of Wikileaks

[AndyD]

It's a serious security issue. It''s playing into the hands of the enemies of the free world. It's morally wrong to reveal this info. This could start a war. This could result in the death of the free internet. It's just the actions of a bunch of sexual deviants. What a load of drivel.

The US was caught with its pants down and this is just the backlash of an embarrassed administration, we are now sitting at the intermission of a political pantomime written and directed by the US and it's purpose is mainly twofold. Firstly to entertain and by that I mean to take the spotlight off the other more important issues. They want people discussing Assange himself, they want people wondering if he's a sexual deviant, they want people discussing the morality and security issues of the leaks, anything but the actual content. They won't charge him because it won't stick and when it falls apart, the spotlight will be back on the US authorities...... only twice as bright. At best they'll try to get one of their EU whipping boy countries to do their dirty work so they can deny all involvement should the need arise.
Secondly they hope it will stem the flow of the leaks. By arresting the owner of the instrument used to reveal the info and by applying pressure on financial institutions such as paypal, mastercard etc and cutting off the finance and finally leaving wikileaks without a domain.

Unfortunately for them wikileaks had contingency plans in place so it will all be to no avail. Their problem is also that if they fail to make an example of wikileaks then they're only option left to stop this happening again is to clean up their own act and that's a much more daunting task entirely.

It will cause the US to rethink their strategy regardless. It may even cause the americans themselves to take notice and wonder what their government is doing. Considering the anti-muslim propoganda they've been spewing for the past 9 years, and the numerous countries they've stepped on to get where they are, I think it's about time someone caught a wake up there. And a wake up outside of the states.
