WikiLeaks lashes out at ‘Pentagon tabloid’ New York Times

the " stop snitching " movement comes not from a hatred of informants , but because of the empty promises of law enforcement to protect those who inform for them. if the us govt wants snitches to be safe they should have such poor info security.

"Ass"ange is a ego-centric "holier-than-thou" sociopath who's callous actions have placed innocents in harms way. He should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and thrown into jail for 30 years with no chance of parole.

The government should start publishing the personal details of each and every person associated with wikileaks. Credit card numbers, social security numbers, phone numbers, addresses, tax information. If these people truly believe in transparency of information, let their entire lives be published. See how long it takes for their identities and personal information to be hacked and misused. Then we will see if they still believe in having information posted.

The point is that Wikileaks is irresponsible for leaving in names of innocent individuals who can face reprisals for being named. Case in point Afghanistan last year. Assange is disingenuous when he says no-one will face reprisals. He knows full well they can, but chooses to publish the names to intimidate people from future cooperation with western governments.

Who appointed Wikileaks as clearing house for truth and information . What they post is all to often sensitive and dangerous to military and government personel of all countries . Why is it that they feel they are entitled to know all the facts ? Real Journalism ? No , the truth I suspect is simply that Assange is becoming a wealthy individual by digging out and publishing harmful information. Who does he think he is fooling ? Assange has only one concern, how much is his bank growing .

Leaking names of American officials and classified information = Treason = Prison. He'll look good in prison with his little black glasses and stylish hair cut.

did wilileaks bring up the new information that the Republicans started the war were in with a surplus that became a 14 trillion dollar deficit? All in the name to protect repbulican oil interests? probably not, when facts are involved,we need to read about them in the tabloids .

Folks, my issue with Wikileaks is that they feel that they have the right to publish any information they gather without considering the consequences. That makes them irresponsible. Which makes them dangerous.

I accept that many in the population support them, but consider this: If they gathered information on any of you by, say, intercepting your 'phone conversations, and released that info with the sole agenda of humiliating its subject, I would venture you would re-evaluate how much you may support them.

I try to find the positives. The most charitable comparison I can make is to equate them to Rolling Stone of years ago, but, though that mag was gritty, they were also responsible. I don't see that with Wikileaks. I see them, instead, as mean gossips that spill what they find not because they see a need to inform the populace, but simply because they found a secret.

I don't condemn them for fact-finding, just for the type of journalism they represent. I imagine that they can hide behind notoriety for only so long before they bite off more than they can chew and find themselves at the ugly end of the legal system.

You can't handle the truth.. I would like to know the truth.. If the government had nothing to hide then they should be more open...Some way we have to keep them a little honest..

Wikileaks is REAL JOURNALISM. Uncovering government secrets, showing poor and exploited people the truth about their lying, sleazy governments. It's astounding to me that so many people out there want Wikileaks to be shut down or prosecuted. The government has been LYING to you and taking your hard-earned money for hundreds of years, and Wikileaks has the guts to stand up to the lying politicians and reveal the truth, and somehow they're a criminal organization?

When we get some real leadership in this country, we will send someone to end wiki leaks once and for all.

All i want out of Assange is for them to dig up all the details over the "fast and furious" concept.... who knew about it and what not. After that i don't care what happens to him.

What has our society come to that people are actually angry that the truth is being presented to them? Does this strike anyone else as completely counter-intuitive? Why have we demonized intellect? Am I overly cynical or are people really that pathetic?

"Newspaper of record"?? LOLOLOlololzzz.... Not for twenty years, at least! The Times is crap, doing the bidding of its vaunted "sources" at every turn, including the disinformation from the State Department repeated breathlessly by Shane, without naming his sources. The youngest intern at wikileaks is a better Journalist than the dinosaurs at NYT.

I hope we can find a legal way to shut down Wikileaks and send Assange to prison. Piece of trash.

The only thing leaking out of Assange is any drop of decency the creep has left.

What a bunch of scumbags this Wikileaks group is. What they are doing isnt the least bit noble.
