BTW, another "secret" that leaked is that Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah stated that the Iraq war had given Iraq to Iran as a "gift on a golden platter." That's not exactly a secret either as I (and others) have made this point numerous times on this board without the benefit of WikiLeaks.

Who's your source? Gaol for you!

I see that King Abdullah is a real player in international politics, outside of oil :)

Iraq is far from played out and should become a regional power again in its' own right. Eventually.

Hell Abdullah & Imadinnerjacket should be worried about a freer, resurgent Iraq - it's a bad examble for those dictatorships. Folks might get uppity.

Damn Pete that's good stuff you're smoking.:D

On page 2, In December 2005, the Saudi king expressed his anger that the Bush administration had ignored his advice against going to war. According to a cable from the American Embassy in Riyadh, the king argued “that whereas in the past the U.S., Saudi Arabia and Saddam Hussein had agreed on the need to contain Iran, U.S. policy had now given Iraq to Iran as a ‘gift on a golden platter.’ ”

As for Abdullah's knowledge of the Mideast, I dare say he knew quite a bit more than Dubya.

If you're leaking common knowledge...

What we need to do is make sure of, even if it scares some people, is that we preserve the right to unregulated free speech. This event is not a catalyst for regulation.

If people misuse the right of free speech in the form of treason, current law already prescribes the penalty. Seems like this case might just be a rehash of commonly known information that is being brought to the forefront for some mysterious reason.

One of my liberal buddies was by and he pretty much agreed with you.

Myself, I'm waiting for the document drop on the big banks.

Are you suggesting that when the banks suffer embarrassment from having their schemes exposed, that they will call on their elected lackeys for action? Could be. Things can get rough when the masters of the universe see their ox being gored. Think Assange might suffer some mysterious accident between now and the time the bank documents are to be published?

They've been the kingmakers for a long time.

Chas

i can't wait either.
