I agree, even if major leaks happen, will it really change anything day to day... the media is controlled by powers that be...

will there really be a social shift? I doubt ppl will be able to adjust to the truth

It will be when they start leaking shit about all of the major banks defrauding citizens. If everyone whose house has been foreclosed on suddenly has a legit lawsuit against BofA for bad faith lending, you can bet theres gonna be some shit flying. And thats why everyone is going after Assange, no one cares about the diplomatic embarassment, they're worried about financial repercussions.

They are worried about alot of things, the main one being public scrutiny and accountability for their decisions. The public can't critisize them if they don't know what is being said and done behind closed doors right? But who the fuck put these cunts in power in the first place. These motherfuckers work for US, not themselves or their personal business interests.

Cuntbags like sarah palin calling for assange to be executed and hunt down like bin laden really make me doubt the American people for voting this whore in office in the first place.

And then we have our very own cuntbag prime minister julia gillard disowning Assange even though he is an Aussie.

WASHINGTON — The Drug Enforcement Administration has been transformed into a global intelligence organization with a reach that extends far beyond narcotics, and an eavesdropping operation so expansive it has to fend off foreign politicians who want to use it against their political enemies, according to secret diplomatic cables.

¶In Panama, an urgent BlackBerry message from the president to the American ambassador demanded that the D.E.A. go after his political enemies: “I need help with tapping phones.”

¶In Sierra Leone, a major cocaine-trafficking prosecution was almost upended by the attorney general’s attempt to solicit $2.5 million in bribes.

¶In Guinea, the country’s biggest narcotics kingpin turned out to be the president’s son, and diplomats discovered that before the police destroyed a huge narcotics seizure, the drugs had been replaced by flour.

¶Leaders of Mexico’s beleaguered military issued private pleas for closer collaboration with the drug agency, confessing that they had little faith in their own country’s police forces.

¶Cables from Myanmar, the target of strict United States sanctions, describe the drug agency informants’ reporting both on how the military junta enriches itself with drug money and on the political activities of the junta’s opponents.

Clinton admits WikiLeaks will dominate the rest of her life
By Cahal Milmo

Wednesday, 12 January 2011

Outwardly, Hillary Clinton's progress through the capitals of America's most crucial Middle Eastern allies in recent days has been to bolster support for the war on terror. Privately, she admits it is also an "apology tour" aimed at undoing the damage caused by the WikiLeaks revelations.

The American Secretary of State, who was yesterday in Yemen on the latest stage of a three-day series of meetings with Arab leaders, broke off from discussions about the effectiveness of sanctions on Iran and al-Qa'ida activity in the Arabian Peninsula to tell aides she needed a tour jacket, like those worn by rock band roadies, with a "big picture of the world and would say 'The Apology Tour' on it".

The disclosure of the first tranche of more than 250,000 toe-curlingly frank diplomatic memos held by WikiLeaks has caused Washington particular embarrassment in the Middle East, where countries in close proximity to Iran, including Saudi Arabia, are known to have been unhappy at the revelation that they were privately urging a tougher line against the regime in Tehran.

The cables also revealed Saudi suggestions for a pan-Arab force to crush Hezbollah in Lebanon and the view of the Tunisian president that Syria acts as an Iranian proxy in the Middle East.

Mrs Clinton, who is on her second trip to the region in a month, told the Washington Post that she had tried where possible to "affirmatively raise" the WikiLeaks issue with her hosts to show that the problems were being tackled. The international face of the Obama administration conceded it would take a period of years to undo the damage caused by the leaks: "I think I will be answering concerns about WikiLeaks for the rest of my life, not just the rest of my tenure as Secretary of State."
