Julian Assange: wanted by the Empire, dead or alive by Alexander Cockburn
Live with the WikiLeakable world or shut down the net. It's your choice. Western political elites obfuscate, lie and bluster – and when the veil of secrecy is lifted, they try to kill the messenger writes John Naughton in the Guardian.
The truth will always win writes Julian Assange in The Australian.
'U.S. to Host World Press Freedom Day in 2011'
P.J. Crowley, a State Department spokesman who denounced WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Monday as an "opportunist" for publishing leaked U.S. diplomatic cables alerted journalists on Tuesday that "The United States is pleased to announce that it will host UNESCO's World Press Freedom Day event in 2011: The theme for next year’s commemoration will be 21st Century Media: New Frontiers, New Barriers. The United States places technology and innovation at the forefront of its diplomatic and development efforts. New media has empowered citizens around the world to report on their circumstances, express opinions on world events, and exchange information in environments sometimes hostile to such exercises of individuals’ right to freedom of expression. At the same time, we are concerned about the determination of some governments to censor and silence individuals, and to restrict the free flow of information. We mark events such as World Press Freedom Day in the context of our enduring commitment to support and expand press freedom and the free flow of information in this digital age."
A Defense of Wikileaks. How it could actually improve U.S. foreign policy.
By John B. Judis.
"There is another consideration—one that bears on the history of these kind of leaks. These Wikileaks revelations are the third major episode of this type which occurred during the past century. The first was the new Bolshevik government’s release in 1917 of secret treaties signed by Great Britain, France, and Czarist Russia during World War I. The second was the Pentagon Papers in 1971. They have something in common. Each was—and I use the word advisedly, and will explain how—a protest against great power imperialism."
