Informants’ Names Accidentally Included in WikiLeaks ReleasePosted on Aug 29, 2011
Near the beginning of the year, WikiLeaks supporters released a collection of U.S. State Department documents that inadvertently contained the names of confidential sources. Unlike previous releases, the names were not redacted. The publication seems to mean that an unknown number of lives and livelihoods are in jeopardy. —ARK

“wikileaks: Totally false that any WikiLeaks sources have been exposed or will be exposed. NYT drooling, senile, and evil”
Who’s telling the truth?
Who do you think? Since the NYT routinely lies about almost everything it’s not hard to work out. I don’t read newspapers any more at all, except for the arts section, and this kind of thing is a confirmation of my decision.

While the NYT is certainly senile and evil, I was unaware that it drooled.

According to Wikileaks, this is false…no names have been published. They tweeted thus:

More kill the messenger media focus. So far there is not a single instance of a life lost due to Wikileaks which certainly can not be said about the policies of the U.S. Government that were revealed. But you can count on the corporate media to exploit any opportunity to discredit Assange while doings its best to ignore and make excuses regarding the revelations of corruption and injustice that are revealed. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

It’s been pointed out before degrading one’s enemy may make him more dangerous. The powers that be have done a lot of damage to Assange, maybe even more than he has done to himself, so his operation is going to be less careful to make nice. As Machiavelli said, ‘If you strike at a prince, you had better kill him.’ The U.S. government will probably try to correct their oversight in this regard before too long. Fortunately others are ready to take up the general project.

Out the bums..
Anyhow, it’s entirely likely this ‘accident’ will serendipitously provide grounds for
the US government to ‘take off the kid gloves’ and go get Assange.. torture him,
and convict him, or just disappear him..
Adios!
