WikiLeaks in trouble

[Kirkland Laing]

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.

It's typical, eh?
CNN, Fox and all the rest won't touch this with a 50 foot pole.

Damn it is pretty plain to see why the Arab world fucking hates America

It is bizarre it hasn't got any media attention when a policeman kicking or punching someone to control a crowd gets front page headlines.

This is like that big pharmacy coverup last year where Baxter 'accidently' infected thousands of flu vaccines with live avian flu virus, something which was clearly and plainly done to trigger a pandemic.

Another health worker for the WHO 'accidently' exploded a containter of live Swine Flu virus on a train as well, again completely unreported.

Wow that was disturbing to watch.
