Wikileak's insurance plan.

Oh hey, another fucking politician whose never read the constitution

Ive heard theories that this could all be some elaborate ruse by the CIA to try and get terrorist IPs.

I think I figured out what Reston5 is.

Its a backup server.

More likely it's a codeword. (Good find though)

What could be, Wikileaks?

I think terrorists have better things to do than induce public servants into leaking documents onto the internet.  Though if they were to take this up as a full time occupation, they may find their popularity suddenly soaring among the general population.

Also, Julian Assange is Australian.  How is he committing treason against America?

[Tempest Virago]

Fascinating shit. Embarrassingly enough, despite having been peripherally aware of WikiLeaks for awhile, I have never actually looked at it. And right now, when I want to, I can't. Downloading the torrent now, though, just in case.

I believe "espionage" is a more appropriate term.

[Cain]

Actually, the correct term is whistleblowing.

But pushing for him to be tried under espionage laws would make more sense, unless US law considers you only capable of espionage if you're working for a foreign state or something.

Daniel Ellsberg talks about Wikileaks.

[Cain]

Liam, in the case of the leaked Afghanistan war files, Wikileaks offered to let the Pentagon scrub out what they considered vital intelligence which could lead to a person getting harmed well before it's release.

They refused, meaning Wikileaks had to do the job themselves.

[Jenne]

I have to say I AM of two minds on what Assange et al are up to, just by virtue of the fact that they are putting poor kids like my husband's cousin (the young Afghan army interpretor) in jeopardy.  If someone comes after Joe because of what's going on in Wikileaks, that'd probably make me think like Liam that there's some definite innocent blood on Assange's and his colleagues' hands.

New post on Wikileaks Twitter

Pentagon says it expects 'nothing new' in next Wikileaks dump. 'Nothing new' to THEM goes without saying.

[Cain]

Well, the Pentagon has admitted that so far not a single person named in the War Diaries has come under any kind of threat due to them.

Maybe the Taliban are slow readers.  Or, more likely, they believe that Wikileaks is a US sponsored operation spreading purposeful disinformation.  Either way, the Pentagon's own people say that no-one has used the information within for military purposes.

I also think would be rather more blood on the Pentagon's hands, given they were offered a chance to edit the diaries to remove this information, but instead threw a temper tantrum and refused.  It looks like Wikileaks knew it was a mammoth task and went to them purposefully to avoid such a situation, and were turned away.

Or the Taliban dont know how to torrent.

It's hard to get broadband wireless up in the mountains.

"Abdul, it says the download is going to take three weeks.  THREE WEEKS, you useless son of a camel's vomit.  No, I cannot just "leave the laptop on overnight", not unless you want to wake up with an infidel flying robot killing you to death.  Yes, I know that's a redundant phrasing, shut the hell up".
