did you actually read this article
I might have expected such a response from you. At least you don't have your Grammar Nazi propeller-cap on today.

The leaks mention many countries and people. But I suppose it is too much to ask where the leaked documents come from. Especially since you can't even figure it out. Let me help; the documents do not come from any of the countries or people you mentioned. They come from a country that starts with "United" and ends with "States".

Do we have the least glimmer of comprehension yet? No? If Assange wanted to accomplish reform, or he was on a noble mission to encourage open democratic communication, blah blah blah, then he would be approaching this in an entirely different manner. But no, he's an Anarchist. As it is, I bet Hillary goes after this guy -- "nails his ass" -- and charges him with espionage.

It's political now. Innocent people have died as a result of the leaks.

How would Assange reform in the United States? Ask them to?

reform in the United States
Interesting that the same theme continues ... the U.S. as the Great Satan.

Assange's version of reform, being the anarchist he is, would be to topple the US gov't, or at least Hillary. Hillary, not being one to sit back and get her butt kicked, decides to nail his ass instead. Interpol is already working on it for her, in case you don't believe me.

My idea of reform is along the lines of Nelson Mandela, or William Wilberforce! or Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Upton Sinclair, Ghandi, etc.

I don't necessarily agree (entirely) with these individuals but I think you can see the difference tween their approach and Assange's. Btw, since you think Assange is trying to bring about reform, I'm very curious what you think that reform would be?

No, the U.S. isn't great, just an ordinary Satan. :) Topple the government? You mean topple Obama? then i'm all for him! Hillary is going after someone for revenge in a dirty and illegal way? I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT, YOU LIAR!

RE: I'm certain many will die...
For starters
I suppose the rest of your statement was sarcasm.

Let's start here.
Crazy Iranians sure hold a grudge over nothing don't they?

Wasn't me that said it. Here,

The leaks come from wherever they can find someone willing to leak it. Assange doesnt go out and recruit people, they come to him. Most (not nearly all) of the documents they have released have been from the US, but alot havent. Maybe you should ask yourself why so many americans feel the need to go outside their media and government with their complaints, more then any other nation?

If you read the email conversations that Assange has had with the state department, you would know that he's given them the chance. They gave them the documents in advance, and asked them to provide a redacted version for them to analyze, and remove anything "dangerous". The US refused. How do you think they should have acted? If there was no publication, nothing would change, and the CIA would keep kidnapping foreign nationals on foreign (and friendly) soil, just bc they share a name with an alleged terrorist...

No I'm referring to the recent focus. Wikileaks is having trouble paying their bills. So how can they raise money? They failed at getting media grants. So maybe they stir up a big controversy, David (i.e. WikiLeaks) vs. Goliath (U.S.), which drives people to their web-site to help generate ad-revenue.
quote: would know that he's given them the chance.
Blackmailing the State Department is further proof that Assange The Anarchist is out for nothing other than notoriety and money. You have to think about the cost of all the security precautions for Assange. Must make him feel important, feeding his ego.

Publishing these documents does nothing, other than make Obama and Hillary look bad, which they are already doing quite nicely at w/o Wikileaks assistance. What change do you think could possibly come from publishing these State Dept doc's? especially in the manner this was done?

Your implication is that Wikileaks, by publishing illegally obtained information, that is either at or crosses the line into national security -- i.e. espionage -- that the CIA will be put in its place. Kind of like Tiananmen Square (TS) where the small guy stops the tank as the world breathlessly watches. I don't think so, but even if that were true, what has happened since TS? Yes, there are many reporters and dissidents tracking the Politburo's every move. But the Great Firewall of China does seem to put a damper on the flow of information. Operation Aurora was a smashing success (for the PLA). Dissidents in Tibet have their email accounts broken in to. [Hell, even Wikileaks publishes private emails]. China is an order of magnitude (or two) stronger since TS. And more daring than ever. By analogy, this is your plan for the CIA?

How is Wikileaks going to change things? Oh, I can see State Dept. security measures tightening. To the point of Draconian. But change for the good, a moral change??? I just don't see it. Assange is a scam-artist, playing on negative advertising.
