Off to jail for the scumbag....
LONDON – A British judge sent Julian Assange to jail on Tuesday, denying bail to the WikiLeaks founder who vowed to fight efforts to extradite him to Sweden in a sex-crimes investigation. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/wikileaks

If I had my way I call them a terrorist organization and I think they should be treated as such. They obtained stolen classified information and have released it to organizations and states which are known enemys of the United States, through wholescale public disclosure via news orgainzations. Traditionally news organizations are usually protected, Wikileaks is not one of those.

I am no fan of FEINSTEIN, but in this case I have to agree with everything she said.

This particular fuckup was already known about, what is exposed is the US pressure on Germany not to do anything about it.

UT, and your point is ?
Sorry, I realize that's being a bit sarcastic. But quotes are from the article, and I feel they are needed for understanding of the situation. What Wikileaks exposed is the the US diplomatic pressure on Germany being accomplices to the actions of the CIA's actions of rendition and torture. |

I can't even read your comments.
Is brainwashing that effective? Take a fucking step out of your little shells, and take a look at the bigger picture.

What about unaffiliated individuals who may see information on the internet and post a link to it somewhere else (such as this message board)? Are we protected from prosecution? Is Undertoad? This is genuine curiosity on my part--I'm not asking because I think I already know the answer.

Flint, I think the old definitions of "news organization" is extinct.
But it is just because of your remark/question about liability, and copyrights, when I re-post some item that I try to take real care with links, citations, and quote-boxes for the copied text. My understanding is that copyright infringements are avoided if there is a good faith effort to provide the citation AND the copied material is not the entire document. That way, the reader has reason and means to go back to the original. |
