"Pierdem peste 600.000 de franci (480.438 euro) pe saptamana de la inceputul difuzarii telegramelor diplomatice. Pentru a ne continua activitatile va trebui, de o maniera sau alta, sa recuperam acesti bani", a precizat el.

La randul sau, Washingtonul ia in calcul urmarirea acestuia pentru spionaj.

Nu prea a iesit schema cu bani luati pe buzz-ul de leaks astepta fraieri cu donatii "pentru libertatea cuvantului (si propasirea materiala a smecherilor - in subsidiar). Fara gluma - ar trebui sa le ajunga fondurile de la "serviciile" ce le-au furnizat documente. Sau nu mai e nevoie de ei (WL)?
Daca publica niste dezvaluiri despre organizarea atentatelelor WTC sau arsenalul nuclear al Israelului puteam zice ca a captat atentia, dar asa consider ca prin aceste dezvaluiri USA au iesit f bine chiar.
La fel si astia. Pierd 400 de mii de euro pe saptamana ... ca oricum nu aveau de unde sa-i priemasca. Mai bine zicea 400 de milioane pe zi, ca tot aia e ...

WikiLeaks ... The hysterical reaction makes one wonder if this is not an example of killing the messenger for the bad news ... the information has caused no known harm to any individual, but it has caused plenty of embarrassment to our government ... how the U.S. government should prosecute an Australian for treason for publishing U.S. secret information that he did not steal? Just as with the Vietnam War, the Iraq War was based on lies ...
Questions to consider:
Number 1: Do the America People deserve know the truth regarding the ongoing wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen?
Number 2: Could a larger question be how can an army private access so much secret information?
Number 3: Why is the hostility mostly directed at Assange, the publisher, and not at our governments failure to protect classified information?
Number 4: Are we getting our moneys worth of the 80 Billion dollars per year spent on intelligence gathering?
Number 5: Which has resulted in the greatest number of deaths: lying us into war or Wikileaks revelations or the release of the Pentagon Papers?
Number 6: If Assange can be convicted of a crime for publishing information that he did not steal, what does this say about the future of the first amendment and the independence of the internet?
Number 7: Could it be that the real reason for the near universal attacks on Wikileaks is more about secretly maintaining a seriously flawed foreign policy of empire than it is about national security?
Number 8: Is there not a huge difference between releasing secret information to help the enemy in a time of declared war, which is treason, and the releasing of information to expose our government lies that promote secret wars, death and corruption?
Number 9: Was it not once considered patriotic to stand up to our government when it is wrong?
