[editline]29th November 2010[/editline] Here's that article about 'inappropiate behavior' from a British royal [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/nov/29/wikileaks-cables-rude-prince-andrew]Prince Andrew shocks US ambassador, attacks Britain's corruption investigations.[/url] ([url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/us-embassy-cables-documents/175722?intcmp=239]With accompanying cable document![/url])

i literally started smiling while reading it

People who don't support wikileaks can't face the facts. The truth is right there in front of you, black and white. It's no longer a conspiracy theory, it is fact. Unfortunately people can't handle the truth, they make up excuses why wikileaks is 'anti-american' and how it severly threatens the United States. Bullshit. People have the RIGHT to know what's going on. The US was FORMED by the PEOPLE questioning the government. If founders like wikileaks were never around, these corrupt officials will continue what they do since no one will stop them

I bet Kim Jong-Il is really bummed right now.

[QUOTE=Orkel;26389997][url]http://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/9361940522471425[/url] oh wow[/QUOTE] Said this a couple posts back, but I knew this long before wikileaks "leaked" that, everyone I know knew about the US nukes we hold for them. [editline]29th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=maurits150;26390041]Cool, my country has nukes. :D[/QUOTE] Not really, we get to hold and throw them for the US, and we get the blame if we drop em.

[QUOTE=Regulas021;26371285][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_diplomatic_cables_leak[/url] This is written in a genuinely neutral light, as opposed to wikileaks, which continues to piss me off as they interpret the facts before they present them.[/QUOTE] The only notable time WL did any "interpreting" is when they edited the video of the chopper gunner, and even then it was an edit to save time and the full raw video was posted on the same fucking page. Take your head out of your ass, they don't have an agenda and they're not biased.

I guess this explains why South Korea aren't really retaliating to North Korea's attacks. They're just going to wait it out, and annex them when they collapse.

These aren't nearly as bad as I thought they would be, besides the German one most of these aren't really that damning. [editline]29th November 2010[/editline] Still, I'm wondering why Assange is targeting the US specifically, there has to be other informants from other countries that are supplying him with information, a little variety is a good thing.

I can't wait till Thursday. I heard some Canadian related stuff is going to drop then. :dance:

Most of it pretty much just confirms what everyone has believed anyway. At least, those are my impressions.

Oh. And Rush Limbaugh, ladies and gents. [url=http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_112910/content/01125107.guest.html]"I hate the word Wiki. I know what it means.

Man, one of us should check in with Kim_Jong_il to make sure he hasn't hurt himself, or something.
