Parody: Google Translation of the Sept 2nd Guardian Editorial: "Julian Assange and WikiLeaks: no case, no need" (Guardian English to Plain English)

Nigel Parry, Translator on Duty at Google's Bangladesh Desk at the beginning of September 2011, ran the September 2nd Guardian Editorial, titled "Julian Assange and WikiLeaks: no case, no need", through Google's translator to decrypt the article from Guardian English into Plain English. No human rights workers, aid workers, foreign diplomatic allies of the United States, or informants were harmed in the process.  more

Guardian Investigative Editor David Leigh publishes top secret Cablegate password revealing names of U.S. collaborators and informants... in his book

The UK's Guardian newspaper's Investigative Editor, David Leigh, author of the "Get this Wikileaks book out the door quickly before other Wikileaks books are published" Wikileaks book has messed up. And when I say "messed up", I mean that Mr. Leigh let slip the top secret password revealing the names of U.S. collaborators around the world—information now freely available to all the enemies of the U.S. And when I say "let slip", I mean that David Leigh published the password as a chapter heading in his book, "WIKILEAKS: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy".  more

Leaked Los Angeles police documents: Radical Islamic Tattoos

On June 23rd, 2011, a relatively new hacker group called Lulz Security, released a 450MB public torrent containing raw documents from Arizona law enforcement. The documents included internal e-mails, training manuals, classified FBI reports, and a variety of other confidential materials. For sure you will be hearing much more about the contents of the leak but one early document I thought worth noting, is a 15-page PDF (below) titled "Radical Islamist Tattoos" by Deputy John Williams of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department.   more

Scary Daily Telegraph report that Al-Qaida's military leader threatened nuke attack if Osama captured or killed is unsupported by Wikileaks source documents

The Daily Telegraph reported in its Wikileaks Gitmo reportage on April 25th that: "A senior Al-Qaeda commander claimed that the terrorist group has hidden a nuclear bomb in Europe which will be detonated if Bin-Laden is ever caught or assassinated." But if you look at the Wikileaked Gitmo file, Khalid Shaikh Muhammad says no such thing. Now, with Bin Laden dead, this is being repeated across the media, with the Telegraph as source, as if it were fact. The Telegraph was wrong.  more

"Quantico Community Relations" Facebook Page shuts down Bradley Manning protests

I realized that Quantico had a Facebook page (Quantico Community Relations). I posted on it, told some friends like 9/11 whistleblower Coleen Rowley about it, who reposted on her Facebook, and tweeted about it. Their page numbers jumped from 783 People Like This to 823 within an hour or thereabouts. My original post amazingly lasted for about 2-3 hours before it got deleted. But people were posting like maniacs at that point and the whole front of the page was filled with anger at Manning's mistreatment.  more
