WikiLeaks: Twisted logic from US Defence Establishment

international / peace/war / commentary

Following recent news of the marriage of Google Corporation to the CIA -- the two organisations hope that ‘mining’ un-encoded data may predict future attacks on the US, notwithstanding the fact that all operatives utilise coded messages (doh!) -- is the latest absurd outburst from the US Defence establishment decrying and lamenting the fact that irrefutable PROOF of US/NATO war crimes and INCOMPETENCE is now a matter of public record. It seems that American neo-colonial aspirations have been dealt a death blow by Australian digital freedom fighter, Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks.

US Defence Secretary Bob Gates and his underling Admiral Mike Mullen, are livid that PNAC has been thoroughly trashed on their watch – yes, gentlemen, its time to take those yankee drawls and twangs back to the Ozarks!

Gates is actually attempting to make a defence of the fact that Afghan traitors and collaborators have been identified leaving them vulnerable to attack by patriotic Afghans! Personally, I have never sympathised with traitorous scum that support foreign invaders but Gates and Mullen in their inverted American logic imagine the world is as dumb and inept as the American administration -- the level of INCOMPETENCE is truly staggering.

Previously suspected but now confirmed by the leaked war documents, is the relationship Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI, has with the Taliban. Pakistan has been accepting billions in American aid and funneling huge amounts to arm the Taliban in Afghanistan! In other words American money and military aid has been used to kill American and NATO troops – yet another example of American ‘competence’ and ‘genius’ in the field -- notwithstanding America’s inability to secure critical data that would compromise its allies. It doesn’t get much worse than this for the world’s now fully exposed leading criminal State!

Perhaps now American and allied war criminals can finally be brought to trial.

Addendum:
It should be apparent that the Google-CIA partnership is yet another encroachment on citizens' privacy and personal liberties -- terrorist excuse my arse! Who are these totalitarian morons trying to kid -- only themselves?

Wikileaks posts mysterious encrypted 'insurance file'
by AFP via fleet - NZ Herald Saturday, Jul 31 2010, 8:12pm

WASHINGTON - Whistleblower website WikiLeaks has posted a mysterious encrypted "insurance file," touching off speculation about what it contains.

Wired magazine said the 1.4-gigabyte "insurance file" appeared on WikiLeaks' "Afghan War Diary" page several days after the site released tens of thousands of classified documents related to the war in Afghanistan.

Cryptome, another whistleblower site, said it may have been "pre-positioned for public release" in the event of a "takedown" of WikiLeaks by US authorities or if something happens to its founder, Julian Assange, an Australian national.

"In either scenario, WikiLeaks volunteers, under a prearranged agreement with Assange, could send out a password or passphrase to allow anyone who has downloaded the file to open it," Wired said.

The file is also available on a file-sharing site in addition to the WikiLeaks page.

Cryptome.org speculated the "insurance file" may contain the 15,000 Afghan files whose release WikiLeaks said it had delayed "as part of a harm minimisation process demanded by our source."

WikiLeaks has never identified the source of the Afghan files but suspicion has fallen on Bradley Manning, a US Army intelligence analyst who is under arrest for allegedly leaking video of a 2007 US Apache helicopter strike in Baghdad in which civilians died.

Wired said the "insurance file" may contain more material from Manning, including war logs from Iraq, video from Afghanistan and 260,000 US State Department cables.
