Okay, I'm bored with the wikileaks hype machine now. If you're gonna leak something go ahead and leak it, don't build it up for months on end and then reveal something disappointingly prosaic, like you have the last few times.
You can stop an organization, but an idea........
Seems to work quite well, and indeed you are correct it does keep individual issues from getting lost in the release process quite well.
Forbes: To start, is it true you’re sitting on [a] trove of unpublished documents?
Julian Assange: Sure. That’s usually the case. As we’ve gotten more successful, there’s a gap between the speed of our publishing pipeline and the speed of our receiving submissions pipeline. Our pipeline of leaks has been increasing exponentially as our profile rises, and our ability to publish is increasing linearly.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Apparently detailed reports of the US spying on its allies, or reports that the US deliberately concealed the civilian death count in Iraq to make the war look better, is prosaic? Because I find shit like that very interesting.
By the time the US responds to the current leak, the bank leak will be ready or nearly ready. The public will see it as a response to the bank leak and ask who is really in charge.
