Enough about Assange: What WikiLeaks has Revealed
This is a topic I am somewhat agnostic about. Zookumar has made a case for Assange being a 5th column of sorts. Most common thing I hear is that there is nothing new under the Wiki Sun. I would separate the info thusly: a) Already knew it, b) already suspected it, c) doesn't surprise me and d) Well blow me down. I had no idea!
Highlights:
•Video of U.S forces gleefully slaughtering good Samaritans and journalists in Iraq
•Logs that reveal secret orders that let U.S. ignore (outsource?) abuse (torture).
•15,000 previously unrevealed civilian deaths in Iraq.
•That Iraq War cheerleader Secretary of State H. Clinton ordered American diplomats to spy on U.N. officails.
•That Obama and Republicans conspired to kill Spain’s probe into the Bush Administrations torture regime (and that B. Obama is a liar).
•That the U.S. pressured Germany not to prosecute CIA officers for torture and rendition, and that Germany caved to this pressure.
•That “top American leaders lied, knowingly to the American public, to American troops, and to the world.”
•That the Obama administration and the president of Yemen conspired to hide U.S. authorship of military strikes in Yemen, just as it was also supplying arms to Saudi Arabia for use in Northern Yemen.
•That India tortured Kashmir prisoners.
•That the U.K. trained a death squad in Bangladesh.
•That the U.K. agreed to shield U.S. interests in an Iraq probe.
•That the Pope refused to cooperate in a sex abuse investigation. (eh.. this is a leak??? Then again maybe this is where I heard it from)
•That the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa recognized the ouster of Honduran President Manuel Zalaya as an illegal coup four days before the coup occurred, though the Obama administration thereafter quickly normalized relations with the coup government.
•That China was behind a hack of Google’s network.
•That U.S. Special Forces have indeed been secretly operating in Pakistan.
•And, through the Afghan War Logs, that (surprise!) the occupation of Afghanistan is a ****ing catastrophe. (Keeping the obvious here)

Thanks, 3optic for the highlights. I knew only a few of the highlights.
