This is why WikiLeaks is important, and why the NYT should be defending it

Ever since WikiLeaks first emerged on the scene in 2010, there has been a debate about whether the organization should qualify as a media entity, and if so what duty we owe it. Many journalists have preferred to see it as merely an information broker, and a slightly seedy or disreputable one at that, and therefore nothing like a true journalistic entity. But the trial of former U.S. Army private Bradley Manning shows why that difference (if there is one) is largely irrelevant — and why WikiLeaks and Manning deserve the support of journalists and media entities of all kinds.

Assange and his concerned anti-allies

 Mr Assange is a fit and proper person
I made a responsible choice to support Mr Julian Assange until he gets his unconditional freedom. No-one is to convince me if I am right or wrong as I make my own decisions from my own research.

Literary award "ER" Nominee: Julian Assange, Washington vs humanity


Julian Assange  

Julian Assange - September 5 at 00:00
 
For almost a year, I go bound with an electronic bracelet. My life goes on under the strict control and supervision. Every day, I report to the police and have no right to leave. I'm under house arrest.

Envy and hatred some influential people, international corporations and nations can spoil my mood, but do not spoil the karma. I live an exile in East Anglia, in the estate of his good friend (the owner of London's Frontline Club journalism club Vaughan Smith. - "ER"). The main advantage of my solitary life - a walk in the forest, communing with nature. Today's brood saw fawns. This is a rare moment of bliss. My daily activities are still associated with risk and releases adrenaline that any other extreme sports pales in comparison. While ten years ago, I rode a motorcycle from Saigon to Hanoi, and I'm scared like. But so does my father in his sixties. He recently on a motorcycle came to me from London.

How Sweden Collaborated With CIA on Renditions and Framing of Assange

By his own admission, Sweden’s Ambassador to Australia Mr. Sven-Olof Petersson had advanced knowledge of the CIA rendition flight that took place on December 18, 2001 from Stockholm to Egypt. This flight ended in Egyptian nationals Ahmed Agiza and Muhammad al-Zery being illegally rendered and tortured. Mr. Petersson’s admission comes from a statement to the Swedish Parliament’s Constitutional Committee, confirming that he attended a briefing on December 17, 2001 at which the rendition process was finalized.

Assange is fighting not running

Assange: Not running, fighting

Much of the mainstream media is deliberately missing the point... and the facts. Julian Assange is not running from anything, he's fighting for justice.  


Questions for Bob Carr FM to ask USA

Real questions for Bob Carr

A new poster series with some real questions Foreign Minister Bob Carr should be asking the US administration.
Thanks for content to Bernard Keane who has written a great article for Crikey magazine entitled "Bob Carr, in full flight from the facts on Assange". Here's an extract:

As Assange laid out carefully in his interview with the ABC on Friday morning, there is copious evidence on the public record of a US investigation into Assange. The evidence has emerged during the trial of Bradley Manning, evidence has come from witnesses like David House who have been subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury pursuing Assange, evidence has come from the efforts of Twitter and Twitter account holders to fight subpoenas relating to the investigation.

How Australia can end the Assange stalemate

Australia can help Julian Assange negotiate his legal problems while remaining consistent with the norms of international law and with the level of assistance that would be offered to other Australians, writes Donald Rothwell.

Attempts to take Assange to America would only take place after legal proceedings are concluded in Sweden

The article in the Independent, 9 Dec 2010, is also very well informed. Written by Kim Sengupta, Diplomatic Correspondent for "The Independent". The Independent, and the Evening Standard, owned by Alexander Lebedev, a Russian oligarch living in London. They often have different news.

Two Years of Cablegate as Bradley Manning Testifies for the First Time

Thursday, November 29th, Bradley Manning testified for the first time since his arrest two and a half years ago in Baghdad. Today also marks the two-year anniversary of the first front pages around the world from Cablegate, an archive of 251,287 U.S. State Department diplomatic cables -- messages sent between the State Department and its embassies, consulates and diplomatic missions around the world. In collaboration with a network of more than 100 press outlets we revealed the full spectrum of techniques used by the United States to exert itself around the world.
The young intelligence analyst Bradley Manning was detained as an alleged source.

Julian Assange on Wikileaks, Bradley Manning and the Emerging Surveillance State


JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks, may testify today at a pretrial proceeding for the first time since he was arrested in May 2010. Manning could face life in prison if convicted of the most serious of 22 counts against him. His trial is expected to begin in February.

Palestine and the Assange Test

Many congratulations to Palestine on being recognised as a non-member state at the United Nations. There is a distinct irony that, apart from the unreconstructed climate change deniers in the United States, Canada and the Czech Republic, the supporters of Palestinian genocide could only muster votes from the tiniest island states threatened by climate change. Where is the much vaunted American Empire now?
