WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange on Iraq War Logs (Part 3)

Watch Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeuJzm7R8gE

In an extended interview with Democracy Now!, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange discusses the release of more than 400,000 classified U.S. military records on the war in Iraq, the largest intelligence leak in U.S. history. The disclosure provides a trove of new evidence on the number of civilian casualties, violence, torture, and suffering that has befallen Iraq since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. While the Obama administration is defending the U.S. military's record in Iraq, the allegations in the documents have sparked worldwide condemnation. Assange also describes WikiLeaks "under siege" and that "the real attack on truth" is by tabloid journalism in the U.S. mainstream media.

The Washington Post is the biggest whorehouse in town. I was an activist leader in D.C. for years and dealt with them often. They omitted the most important parts of interviews. When I submitted copy they deleted crucial sections and inserted their own opinions under my name. They are quasi-journalists. Katherine Graham was close buddies with the CIA and elites. Americans are dangerously misinformed by the mainstream press and broadcasting networks. It is beyond frustrating.

"one day a shooter comes out of the tank and just blows her away".

When you hear this and realize what happened, time freezes for a while as you try to cope with the fact that justice will never be met, that you are absolutely powerless to prosecute the monster that shot a little girl he'd trained to come collect candy every day. It's hard to "support the troops" like this. I can't support monsters, how could I? How could anyone?

People: If you look at a Video Game that was posted on Front Page by youtube in exchange of good money, that Video Game got 2.5 million views in 2 days. That is what society is made of. Society is nothing but a rubbish mass of fucktards. Why should one care about that rubbish? They are the ones responsible for letting governments mock on us? We are 4 or 8 intellectuals, so we are caught amongst the fucktards and the bastard manipulators.

Assange really knows his stuff. He always seems to have seen all of the clips and read all of the articles

Tangible harm? All Wikileaks did was to REPORT the tangible harm to 285,000 people which was brought by the US government years earlier.
