[QUOTE=Devodiere;26900072]Not only is that not well known, it's not even that funny in this context. There is also a difference between cocky and the shit he was spewing.[/QUOTE]
I thought his cockiness was pretty well known. And apparently so did the other guy that made the Julian Assange account. V:v:V
[QUOTE=Zeke129;26896747]This is the new PC facepunch bandwagon - saying you like Wikileaks but not Assange
Last year it was saying you were agnostic without knowing what that actually means[/QUOTE]
lmao
so true
I doubt wikileaks cares it's just more publicity and attention for them.
I know this will sound stupid, but what are "cables".

[quote]Diplomatic cables are essentially reports (often reading like journalistic articles, but more dry) written by diplomats working abroad detailing what is going on in the host country. They're analyzed by the main offices in the capital of the home country to help formulate foreign policy. Most anything that's classified is too boring to want to read unless you were a policy analyst; most of the "juicy" stuff on Wikileaks was "sensitive, unclassified," meaning that anyone without a security clearance could read it.
The only classified stuff on there was labeled "secret," which is boilerplate to diplomats, e.g. some prime minister brought his mistress to a state dinner. Whoop-tee-doo.[/quote]
im 0kay with this
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;26899474]Only problem with this argument is no one has died, no relations have been hurt. This knowledge being public has lead to exactly 0 real incidents, so why shouldn't it be public, care to explain?
[/QUOTE]
Because it could lead to something. There are just some things the public does not need to know. I'm fine with them leaking all the drama-esque things they want but when it comes to troop locations and the like they should keep it to themselves

That's a dumb argument. Anything can lead to anything, this knowledge wasn't that hard to get a hold of before, anyone who was already opposed to the states wouldn't have had trouble uncovering this info to be honest.

This is so ironic.
US troops are as bad as the taliban
Except you're not allowed to know that they're being bad, because that is a thread to homeland security.
[/sarcasm]
if you're saying assange's personality is "quiet"
look at his dating page, that shit made my blood boil

T-10 until someone says that the MPs at Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay are the standard of military personnel.
This should make this situation seem a little more intense.

you mean the one he hasn't logged in on since 2006 and more importantly the one that's a page on the internet?
you should get out more if a dating page makes you angry.
