"If you don't take back your leaks."
All the news that mattered to me today is related to WikiLeaks and Julian Assange (the WikiLeaks director).
- “Sarah Palin is demanding the world hunt down the director of Wikileaks ‘with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban leaders.’” Because anyone who makes the U.S. look bad is a terrorist, right? Someone should escort that bimbo back to Alaska and tie her to a tree.
- NATO considers the latest WikiLeaks leak to be “illegal, irresponsible and dangerous, regardless of whether the leaked material is diplomatic or military.” Anyone surprised to hear that from NATO? Nobody? No?… OK.
- But not everyone wants Julian Assange dead. Ecuador offered him “residency in Ecuador, without any problem and without any conditions.” Bravo, South America!
- WikiLeaks.org plans to make the web a leaky place by creating an embeddable website form that will allow users to “upload a disclosure to me via Wikileaks. The upload system will give potential whistleblowers around the world the ability to leak sensitive documents to an organization or journalist they trust over a secure connection, while giving the receiver legal protection they might not otherwise enjoy.” Brilliant! Can’t wait for that.
- China is frustrated with North Korea and “would be open to the idea of a unified Korea run by the south, according to leaked U.S. diplomatic cables.” Problem, Kim Jongs?
- And in more WikiLeaks related news, their next leak will contain information from the hard drives of a Bank of America executive. “We are sitting on 5GB from Bank of America, one of the executive’s hard drives.” Could mean a lot of trouble for the people who torpedoed the world economy. Possibly the pitchfork and torch kind of trouble.
