“In the coming days, we are going to see some quite startling disclosures about Russia, the nature of the Russian state, and about bribery and corruption in other countries, particularly in Central Asia,” says Investigations Executive Editor David Leigh at the Guardian, one of the three newspapers given advanced access to the secret US embassy cables by the whistleblower website, WikiLeaks. “We will see a wrath of disclosures about pretty terrible things going on around the world.” Leigh reviews the major WikiLeaks revelations so far, explains how the 250000 files were downloaded and given to the newspaper on a thumb drive, and confirms the Guardian gave the files to the New York Times. Additional cables will be disclosed throughout the week. For the podcast, transcript, and for complete WikiLeaks coverage, visit www.DemocracyNow.org.

The Obama administration promised transperency…so be it! Let all the lies and backdoor deals come to light…let it all fall apart!! The time has come for TRUTH!! The time has come for all to AWAKEN!
@ccolley3 You don’t know where the cables came from, plase don’t pretend you do. Are you disinfo? Place your bets wrong on life? Truth – chose it or not, its making the sorting so much easier. Yes, the line has been drawn finally, most just don’t realize it yet. Yes, starting with onesself. Anyone that would be intrerested in wiki in the first place undrestands this. Us “little people” are ready, willing and able to make that choice. Great is it not?
It put peoples life in danger ! OMG the warmongers didn’t say that, she didn’t your looking and listening to the terrorists
Let this be a lesson to all would-be totalitarian states. A totalitarian state can only be run by gathering lots of info & keeping files on everything, but the more info that is kept secret the more likely a leak will occur. There will always be people who will leak, especially in a democracy. The only way to prevent leaks is to not hide info from the public. If you operate with transparency & high moral standards, you don’t need to worry about being embarassed by leaks. It’s really that simple.
Did you hear that? ” put that information at that “level” was a very dumb thing.
Even if they jail him, someone else will continue the good work.
Hilary Clinton’s Translation: “We strongly condem those who reveal the truth of what goes on behind the backs of the stupid masses. These actions make it harder for us to spread war and fear amongst the masses, while at the same time makes it harder for us “the elite” to manipulate you for our needs. The public that votes for us is on a need to know basis, as in they only need to know what we tell them. We condem all democratic action like this as it puts the ruling elite in danger.”
Only if the conduit for wistleblowers remains open, may a truer history of the world be written. Don’t you think?
@garagecrap I hope you’re right. Best of all, I think you are.
They will torture him and eventually kill him
@darkstar3x16 I hope they try. Then his friends will release the key to the doomsday files that have been downloadable for months. Assange says they contain the most damming information yet. About contact with UFO’s, Gitmo, and the global economic meltdown.
I hope the government really are that stupid. The only people afraid of the truth are the ones with something to hide.
Plato’s “The Republic”…refers to the ideal world or Utopia society being run by a dominate minority called “the Guardian”….
Can someone tell me who had first look at the leaks????
“Culture Creation”
Its done by drama, symbolism, architecture….
US Govt:
LYING.FASCIST.SCUM.
Please, Americans, do something about your Govt before you all get painted with the same brush.
hillary is a cunt
Bradley Manning should be given a medal for bravery.
Clinton is a coward, herself. What right does she have to determine who is brave?
@kaptenmax she has one , I don’t know that she is one
The veil has been uncovered, and behind it we find an administration that displays a shameful deception on the world. The 9/11 attacks was a phony pretext to occupy Afghanistan and Iraq. The bible is so true! no wonder they want nothing to do with Christianity, Yeshua or the holy Bible. For in those ( last ) days men will be lovers of themselves, money, boastful, arrogant, reckless disobedient to parents unthankful, unholy…( 2 timothy 3;2 ) trust no man but the Lord thy God. amen.
this is Israeli psyops, we are facing a new patriot act on the internet via Jew Joe Lieberman. Israel is taking down the US and Americans.
I support the attack on the so called international community! Any way, what is the meaning of “International community”?
Democracy? That’s your basic mistake right there. The United States is not a democracy.

They are planning to prosecute journalists under espionage legislation. How can that happen? Because a journalist is only a journalist so long as the government controls his means of publication. When his means of publication is outwith government control, a journalist becomes a Terrorist. Democracy my ass: that’s a dictatorship.
@Bezz80 I’m always a bit wary of the word ‘they’. We’re not little, just not organized as one entity, as ones own economic situation keeps us focused on ourselves and nothing more. I’m a designer who has made millions for companies probably in to the billion rage come to think of it. I, however still go invoice to invoice (most large companies I dropped as they pay so late), I always manage though. I might have no food, but then all of a sudden I get invited to dinner. This is how it works.
Its very obvious that everyone is very nervous about who had em who gave em and who did what first. It reminds me of being at High school when you’d see those with back bones verses those that didn’t when caught in the act. The only person so far who seems to speak straight is Julian Assange. Hillary scares me. All I can picture now is Hillary sifting though some poor diplomats bathroom waste bin looking for toe nails and pubes! that’s disturbing on so many levels.
david leigh has a hidden agenda here. He thinks he can weasel away by throwing Assange aside. To put it bluntly, david leigh is a fuckhead, trust me. You should start reading some of the shit he writes about Jules in the Gaurdian. As see through as the water that runs down my drain.
Wikileaks does not endanger peoples lives, it endangers the reputations of
trailer park whores like Hillary. No-one has died because of the leaks,but hundreds
of thousands of innocent people have died because of American policy, both foreign
and domestic. Go Julian!
