Leaks... with style..!!

I gotta give it to Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.... This is the new brand of investigative media and publishing... And pretty powerful at that!!

In case you have not checked it before - WikiLeaks is an international non-profit media organisation that publishes submissions of otherwise unavailable documents from anonymous sources and leaks. It was launched in 2006 and Julian Assange is quoted as its founder. WikiLeaks states that its "primary interest is in exposing oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to people of all regions who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their governments and corporations".

WikiLeaks describes itself as “an uncensorable system for untraceable mass document leaking”. WikiLeaks is hosted by PRQ, a Sweden-based company providing “highly secure, no-questions-asked hosting services.” PRQ is said to have “almost no information about its clientele and maintains few if any of its own logs.” The servers are spread around the world with the central server located in Sweden. Julian Assange has said that the servers are located in Sweden (and the other countries) "specifically because those nations offer legal protection to the disclosures made on the site". He talks about the Swedish constitution, which gives the information providers total legal protection. It is forbidden according to Swedish law for any administrative authority to make inquiries about the sources of any type of newspaper. These laws, and the hosting by PRQ, make it difficult to take WikiLeaks offline. Furthermore, "Wikileaks maintains its own servers at undisclosed locations, keeps no logs and uses military-grade encryption to protect sources and other confidential information."

There have been quite a lot of material out there. You gotta see them....

For example, in April 2010, WikiLeaks posted video from a 2007 incident in which Iraqi civilians were killed by U.S. forces, on a website called Collateral Murder. It is gruesome.. exposes the darker side of the war and the uncouth power and the irresponsible use of it by the US armed forces.

Latest leaks correspond to more than 250K diplomatic cables from the US embassies of the world including one in which United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton apparently orders diplomats to obtain credit card and frequent flier numbers of the French, British, Russian and Chinese delegations to the United Nations Security Council. Other revelations reportedly include that several Arab nations urged the U.S. to launch a first strike on Iran, that the Chinese government was directly involved in computer hacking, and that the U.S. is pressuring Pakistan to turn over nuclear material to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. The cables also include unflattering appraisals of world leaders. US diplomacy is reeling under the impact of the expose...

Hope this brings in some accountability to the Nations and Corporations of the world. Currently the site seems to be down... Hope they come back up soon. Keep checking !!

PS: Sweden has issued an arrest warrant on Julian Assange for some supposed sexual misconduct... The powers seem to be getting up to him and the website.... Damn you, the powers!! but for how long can you hold us down??

Eternal Life!
