Thread: WikiLeaks in trouble

Wikileaks has an unencrypted video showing a US army purposefully killing 97 civilians, including journalists, which they will release on April 5th.

The editors are currently in Iceland discussing something unrelated with Icelandic officials.

The CIA, DoD and NSA is hunting them, spying on them, detaining them to the point where they are in real fear of their lives.

This isn't a movie, this is a real act of information supression by a government by every necessary means.

Twitter / WikiLeaks: Finally cracked the encryp ...

From The Morgue : Wikileaks: Something is up

Next few weeks should be interesting.

That's quite something indeed... VERY interesting.

You'd wonder why they're waiting until April 5th and why they made it public on funking twitter although it sounds like they'd publicly asked for donations to crack it anyway. If they do manage to get this on the web what'll be really interesting will be the media/civilian reaction in America and other countries. If it's in Iraq it's worse for the US than Afghanistan but it's not good either way.

EDIT: Ah, it's an airstrike video. It's not like they rounded a bunch of people up and shot them and it'll be in Afghanistan. By the time the US media is finished with them the Wikileaks people will be the bad guys and the airstrike guys will be heroes. If the audio on the vid isn't something like "let's see how many civilians and journalists we can kill with one missile" it'll be move along, nothing to see here.

The video is up now - http://www.wikileaks.com/
They killed two Reuters journalists/photographers and a good few others. They seemed to mistake the cameras for weapons, although it does appear some of the victims were indeed armed. I'm no expert in the situation over there, but they did seem a bit trigger happy... especially when it came to the mini-van (containing 2 kids) showing up to aid the wounded.

The real scandal is the attempted cover up though and the stuff that was going on since Wikileaks announced that they would be showing the video. Getting followed, questioned etc...

Our hired gunmen have a certain mentally about it all dont they.
They have even killed off their own compassion with departmental guidelines used for the excuse to remain inhuman.

Can't believe how little press this is getting.

The video is quite shocking and disturbing.
