- - Wikileaks at it again. (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showthread.php?t=39178)

So I hear that there's a "thermonuclear option" that's being released incase anything happens to Assange. Seems intelligence agencies all over the place are working to gues at what may be in that folder.

Personally, I'd like to think it's a trick to get those agencies to reveal things just by guessing at what the worst possible thing to reveal can be.

Quote:

Wikileaks supporters have downloaded the so-called �insurance� document from the web site. Assange has said that he will release a code to open it if anything happens to him or to his staff.

That file �would pose the same kind of threats� as previous leaks, says Lapan, in which senior US military officials warned that they could endanger the lives of US troops. Pentagon officials have speculated that Assange's "thermonuclear" option could include diplomatic cables about detainees held at the infamous Guantanamo Bay military detention center in Cuba.

�One thing we do know,� Lapan says, �is that the size of the file is very large.�

Also, there's a group in Germany, I think, called OpenLeaks who are going to try and do the same thing WikiLeaks does, so that's cool.

Linkage?

Totally got that one about Openleaks

Ah, sorry for not noticing that.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHH!!!
Man, you're adorable sometimes.

We were closer to the center before. Admittedly still decidedly right of center, but now we've moved further right again...

I believe his point is that centrism has caused the issue where the right is winning, but I could be wrong.

Um...explain the logic of how being a Centrist can cause the Right to win anything? I always was under the assumption balance in anything was a good thing with small swings in either direction. Not the huge wild swings we've seen the last several years.

An interesting piece. Though I do slightly disagree with him. To me, Centerism is like Pacifism; ideal, but it doesn't work unless everybody is playing along - one dude with a pointy stick upsets the whole thing. This as opposed to just being outright bad.
