BIGGEST LEAK IN US HISTORY

Governments and the Military are the people putting peoples lives in danger and not just the military but many civilians as well. (sticks head out of window an listens for drones. )

Daniel Elsberg famouse for his leaking of Watergate but a mere 7000 pages which he carefully xeroxed. He says he is jealous of the 400,000 documents leaked this time over Iraq and Afghanistan. You can watch Mr Elsberg on democracy now on video via the wikileaks web site. I agree when Elsberg says leaking these documents is not the big deal that American and British sources claim.

As a person who has always hated official secrets I am glad to see that AP reports that no one has been injured or killed as a result of the wikileams releases. and as usual they are leaning on the leakers and threatening them with the espionage act. Obama may promise a more open and transparent government but so far there are few signs that he will actually really attempt this. Guantanamo is still open and there are no obvious plans to turn over US bases to Iraqis or Afghanis. A president who lies like nixon or Bush or Clinton is always going to more of a liar than he is a president.

Perhaps if there are even more leaks and of course a wide variety of whistle blowers and whistles to blow they can play tunes on them, Suggestions for such tunes and a playlist are of course always welcome on this blog. Meanwhile, if you see a presidents lips moving, you can be fairly sure that he is llieing. If you want to make a difference and join the army then of course neither I nor wikileams can prevent you but if you do, please try to avoid killing or injuring yourself or anyone who isnt in uniform. This doesnt include medical staff and emergency staff who are generally believed to be trying to save lives. As a friend of mine known as chip used to often say satirically in the 60s whenever a low flying jet roared by in the middle east "Is that a Mirage in the Sky or just an Illusion passing by.
