WikiLeaks and the Free For All

Comment Up
WikiLeaks is down. Hackers, with the intent of committing cyber terror on the United States as well as corporations that have denied service to WikiLeaks, are hacking into web sites in the name of "free speech" and for their self-ordained right to promote their own sense of justice.

Time Magazine recently said, "WikiLeaks could become as important a journalistic tool as the Freedom of Information Act."

What its web site says: WikiLeaks is a non-profit media organization dedicated to bringing important news and information to the public. We provide an innovative, secure and anonymous way for independent sources around the world to leak information to our journalists. We publish material of ethical, political and historical significance while keeping the identity of our sources anonymous, thus providing a universal way for the revealing of suppressed and censored injustices.

WikiLeaks relies on its supporters in order to stay strong. Please keep us at the forefront of anti-censorship and support us today. "

Assange feels no responsibility or guilt in publishing stolen documents. In his mind, he is doing the world a great service. He quoted Robert Murdoch by saying: "In the race between secrecy and truth, it seems inevitable that truth will always win.’’ He believes that truth outweighs his crime.

This terrorist organization believes it can do anything it pleases without censorship and no one has the right to shut them up. Hopefully leaders can come up with a plan to deal with this new type of criminal and the rogue illegal hackers behind Assange. This clearly was a reckless action that jeopardized lives and what John Kerry says, "exposing raw, contemporaneous intelligence." If they can do this, what else can we expect? Shut down the Pentagon? Shut down the free world so only these terrorists are free?

  2. Please tell us how you really feel.

    I totally agree with you and I would even take it one step further. Since Julian Assange is not a US citizen, but the NYT is a US corporation, I would hold the NYT accountable for treason and try the corporation for espionage.
