WikiLeaks keeps dripping... They've been forced to change domain servers due to DNA attacks. They're under legislative attack by Senator Lieberman, and ASSange is still wanted on a warrant his lawyer says isn't valid. Wired says that the leak hasn't "broken" U.S. Intelligence... yet.
Today's leak 'revelations'? Karzai is "paranoid". Oh, and gravity holds people to the planet. There was a 'spat' between the US and UK over spy flights from Cyprus.
South Korea is raising the rhetoric and promising air strikes if the Norks attack again.
Puntland is standing up a private military that has the US concerned.
The Ivorian military has sealed the borders after the government declared the winner in the recent election.
More uniformed grumbling over the end of DADT.
And we need to stop panicking over incompetent terrorists, says Ackerman. Hell, Kung Fu Monkey has been telling you to "sack up" for years.

Please stop calling him "ASSange", it makes you sound like a six year old with a chip on their shoulder.
ReplyDeleteactually, I think he's a 35-year-old with a chip on his shoulder... but really, come on, how much respect does WikiLeaks really deserve?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how Julien Assange can be guilty of treason.
ReplyDeleteThe penalty for treason is given in the United States Code: at 18 U.S.C. § 2381 it states "whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
Julien Assange is not an American citizen, and owes no allegiance to the United States.
could he be guilty of treason against Australia if the US cables he exposed also gave away Aussie state secrets? I don't know - I'm asking!
