I owe you an apology, Ry. I did a little cherry-picking of my own when reading through it the first time and was upset by another post yesterday. My bad. I'm leaving the board but still have tremendous respect for the work you have done and continue to do. Thanks for everything.

Assange stated "clearly" that 911 was a "conspiracy theory" and only "his" documents were "true" conspiracies. We can't be sure his digital documents are even valid. Plus, he denigrates the US to the delight of "bibi" which takes the heat off what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians and anyon...

Ian, while I understand your frustrations quite well, I don't understand why you're taking them out on us. The first thing I thought of when the Wikileaks were released was that it was some kind of controlled opposition. What is so wrong about that? Nothing. That's what I'm saying. Why *wouldn't* y...

This stuff is really elementary. I don't know what else to say here. Also saying wikileaks burst on the scene with Collateral Murder is inaccurate. The first thing I heard from them involved Climategate back in '06 , was it? Anyway, I don't remember anyone here calling that a ploy by Bush and his B...

Your entire argument against wikileaks is based on the premise that wikileaks maintains that the information they publish is not, in fact, "leaked." Which obviously is absurd. You think these government documents maybe, oh, I don't know... CAME FROM THE GOVERNMENT???? Did Iraqi civilians and the res...

This is retarded. Fucking. Retarded. It's hard to find a place to begin but I'd like to start with the source for all(repeat: ALLLL) of this information, Mr. Berg. Obviously the guy is disenchanted with Assange, which is great. Cool. Talk as much shit about Julian as you can, Daniel. Look at all the...

Funny that the same day this is leaked USA Today(The Tennessean) runs a smear piece on US citizen Anwar Al-Awlaki reporting that the government has ordere...

This doesn't really cover any new ground for us but I was surprised to see it coming out in CNN. Think it means enough people are fucked and now realizing it that they can't really keep it quiet anymore? No more painting a rosy picture while everything comes crumbling down sorta deal. http://money.c...

I kind of want to see that movie but I feel like I might miss a lot of the humor since I never saw/read any of the Twilight series. Love that pic, Dissent
