Here is the page of the video. :)

Well, not the official site, but probably the official video. :P

Jalaffa did mention that it will be removed in few hours.

About Wikileaks, ah well, truth cannot be hidden for long, the more you hide it, the more bigger way it reveals itself.

You wrong there mate- the truth was hidden for a very long time and more of (what is not in the report) will be hidden even deeper now.

From personal experience: Yes, I've seen reports and some releases, even downloaded bleepin 1.something GB (fake )file... was swinging left and right, without making my mind up, all the way up until after dudes arrest ( I had to accept on how big the deal is) and only today seen full footage of incidents half presented- seen by me earlier. So half truths have been having an affect on my and load of other peeps perception...

[DKT27]

Great documentary. Has inspired me. :)

Well, even I wasn't so sure about things before I saw the movie. Many doubts are cleared.

But I still stick to what I've said, being a believer in Gandhi, the truth always comes out eventually, and when you cover it up with lies, it hits back to you where it hurts you the most. Yes some things would be hidden more, but not for whole eternity.

Well there are somethings that are doubtful about Wikileaks, but that doesn't make it bad. If that doubts weren't there, I would have probably called Jullian what that guy called, a Pure Angel, for his works.

ATM, Wikileaks is in problems, and I believe it becomes my responsibility as a freedom of speech lover and as an individual that it is saved from the clutches of the evil that's trying to kill the site.

One thing I didn't understand, why the hell Adrian Lamo, the homeless hacker, released the name of the person who released the info? Afterall, he himself is a journalist now. :(

EDIT: See the tinypic image on your post? I find something suspicious about it's removal.

We have to agree to disagree!

Imagine, yourself, having such info- what would you do?- would you have done as well as Julian did?

ATM, Wikileaks is in problems, and I believe it becomes my responsibility as a freedom of speech lover and as an individual that it is saved from the clutches of the evil that's trying to kill the site.

Ditto! (and few Governments officials where talking about eliminating him) :ph34r:

"hardly prince from farmer"... heard that before?

Sorted (changed, with bigger one!)

For the first few hours I was literally sick... very unpleasant truths... :(

[DKT27]

With many documentaries I've seen in recent past, I make myself more sure that violence (or even being harsh) is a real bad thing and should be kept to it's least especially when you're on top.

About the happenings, well, I didn't pay attention when the videos were first leaked, I was knowing that something happened, but wasn't too sure. But what has happened, is beyond humanity. I see the *beep* (you know whom I'm taking about) military itself spreading terror here. But I'm not surprised, this is not the first time I've seen them doing the wrong ways of justice or following the wrong paths. Cmon man, there were innocent children in front of your eyes. Reminds me The Revenge Of the Sith where Anakin Skywalker kills the innocent kids with the darkness in his eyes. :(

good read of an interview (+ audio and video)

This is the transcript of TIME managing editor Richard Stengel's interview with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange via Skype on Nov. 30, 2010.

RICHARD STENGEL: Hi, Mr. Assange, it's Rick Stengel. I'm the editor of TIME magazine, and thank you for joining us this evening.

JULIAN ASSANGE: You're welcome.

RS: So sorry about the technical difficulties, but I'm sure it's something you're used to. So here we go.

JA: Thousands of them.

RS: What is the effect thus far of the latest round of leaks and what effect do you hope to have from those leaks?

(See TIME's video "WikiLeaks Founder on History's Top Leaks.")

JA: I can see that the media scrutiny and the reaction from government are so tremendous that it actually eclipses our ability to understand it. And I think there is a new story appearing, a new, original story appearing about once every two minutes somewhere around the world. Google News has managed to index. At this stage, we can only have a feeling for what the effect is based upon just looking at what the tips of the wave are doing, moving currents under the surface. There is simply too much volume for us to even be able to see. But looking at what we can, I can see that there is a tremendous rearrangement of viewings about many different countries. And so that will result in some new kind of harmonization [variant: harm minimization]. And we can see the Israeli Prime Minister [benjamin] Netanyahu coming out with a very interesting statement that leaders should speak in public like they do in private whenever they can. He believes that the result of this publication, which makes the sentiments of many privately held beliefs public, are promising a pretty good [indecipherable] will lead to some kind of increase in the peace process in the Middle East and particularly in relation to Iran. I just noticed today Iran has agreed to nuclear talks. Maybe that's coincidence or maybe it's coming out of this process, but it's certainly not being canceled by this process.

RS: One of the unintended consequences is the opposite effect, which is what we've seen with the Department of Defense, and even the State Department, here in the U.S., of trying to make secrets more impenetrable rather than less and trying to take precautions against what has happened from happening again in the future. How do you regard that?

JA: Well, I think that's very positive. Since 2006, we have been working along this philosophy that organizations which are abusive and need to be [in] the public eye. If their behavior is revealed to the public, they have one of two choices: one is to reform in such a way that they can be proud of their endeavors, and proud to display them to the public. Or the other is to lock down internally and to balkanize, and as a result, of course, cease to be as efficient as they were. To me, that is a very good outcome, because organizations can either be efficient, open and honest, or they can be closed, conspiratorial and inefficient.

(See "Awkward! Hillary Clinton Visits Countries WikiLeaks Tattled On.")

RS: Are there any instances [in] diplomacy or global affairs in which you see secrecy as necessary and as an asset?

JA: Yes, of course. We keep secret the identity of our sources, as an example, [and] take great pains to do it. So secrecy is important for many things but shouldn't be used to cover up abuses, which leads us to the question of who decides and who is responsible. It shouldn't really be that people are thinking about, Should something be secret? I would rather it be thought, Who has a responsibility to keep certain things secret? And, Who has a responsibility to bring matters to the public? And those responsibilities fall on different players. And it is our responsibility to bring matters to the public.

RS: You mention the public. Do you believe the American public in this particular instance was either dissatisfied or unhappy with the way the U.S. government was conducting diplomacy, so that you felt compelled to expose it to them? Because it seems to me that the public is reacting negatively to a lot of this exposure of diplomatic secrets that they presumably feel were actually in their interest.

JA: Well, I think the response by the American public has been very favorable to our endeavor. In fact, I think the State Department is going to have a hard time of it trying to spin this. It's one thing to tap into [audio lost]. It's one thing to talk about the need to protect this image of the innocent young soldier; it's another thing to talk about how diplomats are hard done by when they find their very privileged position in life undermined by having their lies revealed. And it doesn't seem to me that there is grass-roots, broad support for the behavior of diplomats, say, stealing [inaudible] DNA. That's just something that doesn't resonate well with the average person.

RS: And I know you've e-mailed about this, but what is your reaction to Secretary [Hillary] Clinton's declaration that you've put lives in jeopardy and now the apparent attempts by the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute you? What is your reaction to that? And have you committed any crimes that they should be prosecuting you for?

JA: Well, this sort of nonsense about lives being put in jeopardy is trotted out every time a big military or intelligence organization is exposed by the press. It's nothing new, and it's not an exclusively American phenomenon by an means. It goes back at least 50 years, and in extremely different forms hundreds of years before that, so that sort of reactionary sentiment is equally expected. We get that on nearly every post that we do. However, this organization in its four years of publishing history — we don't need to speculate, it has a history — has never caused an individual, as far as we can determine or as far anyone else can determine, to come to any sort of physical harm or to be wrongly imprisoned and so on. That is a record compared to the organizations that we are trying to expose who have literally been involved in the deaths of hundreds or thousands or, potentially over the course of many years, millions.

WikiLeaks' Assange free on bail

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, arrested in Britain on Swedish allegations of sex crimes, was granted bail by a London court on Tuesday.

Julian Assange Captured by World's Dating Police

Dear Interpol:

As a longtime feminist activist, I have been overjoyed to discover your new commitment to engaging in global manhunts to arrest and prosecute men who behave like narcissistic jerks to women they are dating.

I see that Julian Assange is accused of having consensual sex with two women, in one case using a condom that broke. I understand, from the alleged victims' complaints to the media, that Assange is also accused of texting and tweeting in the taxi on the way to one of the women's apartments while on a date, and, disgustingly enough, 'reading stories about himself online' in the cab.

Both alleged victims are also upset that he began dating a second woman while still being in a relationship with the first. (Of course, as a feminist, I am also pleased that the alleged victims are using feminist-inspired rhetoric and law to assuage what appears to be personal injured feelings. That's what our brave suffragette foremothers intended!).

Thank you again, Interpol. I know you will now prioritize the global manhunt for 1.3 million guys I have heard similar complaints about personally in the US alone -- there is an entire fraternity at the University of Texas you need to arrest immediately. I also have firsthand information that John Smith in Providence, Rhode Island, went to a stag party -- with strippers! -- that his girlfriend wanted him to skip, and that Mark Levinson in Corvallis, Oregon, did not notice that his girlfriend got a really cute new haircut -- even though it was THREE INCHES SHORTER.

Terrorists. Go get 'em, Interpol!

Yours gratefully,

Naomi Wolf

So he is finally released (on bail) right? :D

[Atasas]

So he is finally released (on bail) right? :D

Nope! by some law weirdness, application for appeal against bail grant been issued and he's in prison for 2 more days.... UK Gov agencies brassing against attacks

Considering, that he is under "wanted dead or alive" tag- probably safest there

[DKT27]

LOL. The more the time they trouble him, the more people will get on the streets to support him. But as for the wanted dead or alive tag, I'd rather trust this guy > :usama: < than the authorities under US's pressure.

Thanks for links.

Just downloading from MU.

Assagne gets bail

Judge rejects Swedish request

LONDON (AP) — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been released on bail following a week of legal drama over his extradition.

The 39-year-old Australian is fighting moves to take him to Sweden, where he faces sex-crimes allegations related to a visit there over the summer.

He handed himself in to British police last week but has been fighting for bail since.

Assange told journalists assembled outside of London's High Court Thursday that he was pleased to taste the fresh air and would continue to protest his innocence.

Assange is now expected to head to a British country mansion where he will have to observe a curfew and wear a monitoring device.

A High Court justice in London today rejected a Swedish request to keep the WikiLeaks founder in prison as he fights extradition. Prosecutors in Sweden want to question Assange on sex-crimes allegations, and argued he was a flight risk.

But the judge dismissed those arguments, saying Assange had behaved like "a person who is seeking to evade justice" since arriving in Britain. The judge added that Assange has incentives to attend future court proceedings: to clear his name and avoid making famous backers, including filmmaker Michael Moore, look foolish.

Assange's lawyer said he's "utterly delighted" with the ruling, which included an order that prosecutors pay Assange's court costs.

Lawyer Mark Stephens now needs to produce the bail money, which has been pledged by several wealthy supporters. Stephens says he expects Assange to be free "sometime later today" or tomorrow at the latest.

His bail was $316,00.

Yea just read it. Great news. :)

You can make a new topic about his release if you want. ^_^
