nothing new about india.

Chinease Vice Foreign Minister He Yei is quoted as saying: "A pakistani military leader said his army was no match for the Indian army" the justification given by pak for why it needs nuclear weapons.

Like that is news... 1.1-1.5 million standing army vs 500,000..:hysterical:. If it weren't for the nukes -Kargil would've been the last operation ever conducted by an entity called the Pak Army.

Now this is calling for trouble, literally. Julius may argue that by laying the facts before everyone, he is trying to influence the governments to do their bit to secure their locations. But such open plainspeak can lead to a lot of trouble. Even countries interested in protecting Julius might think twice now.

For anyone hoping to understand how a person can be brought down... Assange's case is a superb example. First the smear campaign... make everyone believe he is a bad man. Then comes the choking - Liquidate the guy's assets and hunt him down like a dog. Once caught come up with ridiculous reasons as to why he should be hanged. Makes for good learning. Never go against the government. After all they should never be held accountable for their actions! We Indians could learn a lot from this guy. Perhaps that way the rampant corruption in our country would actually end.

As we all know.. the terrorists read only leaked documents and don't know how to use Google or any other search engine :giggle:

Although the facilities listed are not secret — and the locations for most of them can be found through a simple Google search — British and U.S. authorities denounced WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange for releasing the list.

As we all know.. the terrorists read only leaked documents and don't know how to use Google or any other search engine :giggle:

ofc any location can be found using google maps, the point here is knowing which locations are considered important by a country. can you tell me what greater good is served by leaking such a list? They were supposed to be a whistle blower site helping unearth corporate and government fraud, so I can understand them leaking some info like the one about US state dept asking it's diplomats to engage in (illegal) spying, etc. But then you have them leaking a list like this and it makes you wonder what exactly is this site's main goal other than to embarrass and hurt the US. Ofc they have some other sensational info about other countries like china, but the main target seems to be the US.

[bharathh]

I think they mention in the article that all locations considered important by the US can be found using Google. Perhaps it is good for the public to know how important locations are safeguarded by the govt? Until now, I can only see positives emanating from the leaks. It is yet to be proven that something bad has and will happen. The way the various govts are going after the guy... it is pretty obvious that there are many interesting things that will soon never see the light of day and we can all go back to pretending that everything is good and well in the world again.

Desperate Housewives stifles Islamic extremism Popular US television shows including Friends and Desperate Housewives have done more to stifle Islamic extremism in Saudi Arabia than hundreds of millions of dollars spent on propaganda, according to a leaked diplomatic cable. In a message sent back to Washington DC, officials at the US Embassy in Jeddah said the shows, starring Jennifer Aniston and Eva Longoria, were successfully undermining the spread of jihadist ideas among the country's youth. Such programmes, broadcast with Arabic subtitles on several Saudi satellite channels, were part of a push by the kingdom to foster openness and counter extremists, according to the cable. The officials said the policy was succeeding in a way that Al-Hurra, a television news station funded by the US, never could. Al-Hurra was launched in 2004 and broadcasts across numerous countries in the Middle East. According to one estimate it has so far cost $500 million (£315 million). The diplomatic cable was headed "David Letterman: Agent of Influence," referring to the US chat show host who is also being broadcast to a Saudi audience. It included a summary of a briefing from two Saudi media executives at a Starbucks coffee shop in Jeddah. The May 2009 cable said: "Saudis are now very interested in the outside world and everybody wants to study in the US if they can. They are fascinated by US culture in a way they never were before." American sitcoms and chat shows were said to be finding a popular audience even in remote, conservative parts of the kingdom. Popular Hollywood movies in Saudi Arabia were said to include Michael Clayton, a tale of corporate corruption starring George Clooney, and the thriller Insomnia starring Al Pacino. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8187935/WikiLeaks-Desperate-Housewives-stifles-Islamic-extremism.html :/

Pakistan papers apologise after running anti-India fake WikiLeaks cables

ISLAMABAD: Leading Pakistani newspapers have acknowledged they were hoaxed after publishing reports based on fake WikiLeaks cables containing crude anti-India propaganda. Several leading Pakistani newspapers had on Thursday reproduced an elaborate internet hoax based on purported diplomatic cables from the US embassy in India that spoke of alleged rifts between top Indian Army generals and a " Bosnia-like genocide" in Jammu and Kashmir. Much of Pakistan's media toes a pro-military, anti-Indian line. The instigator of the hoax material remains unclear, though it appeared to have originated on a news website known for anti-Indian and anti-Hindu articles. While The Express Tribune published an apology on Friday, The News retracted the story that it had carried on its front page using these fake US diplomatic cables. Other admitted they had been hoaxed. The News had reported on Thursday that cables released by WikiLeaks showed Indian spies were supporting Islamist militants in Pakistan's northwest tribal region of Waziristan and the southwestern province of Baluchistan. Newspapers like the Nation, Nawai Waqt and Jang also carried the report, which quoted purported secret US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks. Datelined from Washington, The News related how US diplomats thought of Indian army chief Gen Deepak Kapoor as an "incompetent combat leader" and "rather a geek". It claimed another cable as suggesting that a tug-of-war between Kapoor and current army chief Gen V K Singh had divided the force into "two groups". Another general was described as "self-obsessed, petulant and idiosyncratic" who was "barely tolerated" by subordinates. It liked another to late Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic "with regard to butchering Muslims through war crimes" in Kashmir. On Friday, The News wrote that "on further inquiries, we learnt from our sources that the story was dubious and may have been planted". The News said the report originated from some local websites "known for their close connections with certain intelligence agencies". Yet another US cable, the report claimed, had mentioned that slain Mumbai ATS chief Hemant Karkare had briefed the Americans about an alleged nexus between the Indian Army and "Hindu fanatic groups". It claimed Karkare, who died fighting the 26/11 terrorists in Mumbai, had sought security from the Americans for himself and his family. Karkare was one of the several policemen killed during the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

No it will not, the people who blow the war-conch are the ones who are doing this, they are fully aware of it. This is just to poison the minds of the already gutter-fed majority of Paki Population to keep the hatred- flag flying, justifying their radical behavior and acts of terrorism. There is no other country in the world where a major chunk of its population lives in an egg-shell of denial than this nation. Information like this only feeds them, it is like feul to an already burning fire. Who here still thinks this country has hope ? :winky::winky:

Paki douche bags

[hari504504]

Apparently Assange has two 'stacks' of documents.. one considered moderate and one highly explosive. He has so far only released the moderate ones and has promised to release the explosive ones if he is prosecuted...clearly putting him in prison isn't going to stop this.

Keeping one's cards close to the chest is a good practice, at times. However, given that he got caught in London despite maintaining such high level of secrecy means maybe someone at Wikileaks has switched sides.

However, given that he got caught in London despite maintaining such high level of secrecy means maybe someone at Wikileaks has switched sides.[/quote'] He wasn't maintaining much secrecy.. he showed up at one of the police stations in the UK for some reason and they notified Scotland Yard. I don't see too much of a legal angle to this case -Assange acted like an investigative journo who published stuff handed to him by others. He didn't hack into any system. Good luck SY/FBI trying to find the ones who really violated secrecy laws -cause Assange isn't the one.
