Nothing but polichinell secrets they now all try to pretend they never knew.
What I found remarquable is that some imbeciles states that it is assange who is the criminal, for exposing the criminals abusing of the diplomatic channels to defend their activities.
Some believes that Guantanamo bay is a shame to the US, it could become a credit to the US if those scheming lardasses where sent there.

@PandemicMadness Hahahaa !!!
The USA has committed many crimes and gotten away with it inculding spying on other countries and crimes against it's OWN people.
But you fail to see that. You're a dog and you'll believe in the US government even if they killed your own family.

what never ceases to amaze me is human stupidity. When you do something illegal such as release classified information, you cannot whinge about getting punished for it, can you, mr assange, oh self-professed "hero" of our times?!

I am so happy Wikileaks did this, and hope that they will not execute Bradley Manning. It is time our governments came clean with us.

The UK, US and EU governments have been involved in lying to their own people about the nature of their presence in the Third World, and the now corporatized mainstream media (CNN, etc.) have been complicit, by not doing their jobs. On for instance Zimbabwe, google:
"MDC-T leaders are weak and ineffectual - former Ambassador Dell"

It is a victim's minimal right to have the face of its murderer revealed.
What would be ur reaction if the US government accuses you of having "blood on your hand" (look who's talking) when u leak a video of murderers killing ur son for fun?
Same applies to the other diplomatic leaks. Why lie in the first place?
