Bob makes himself look like a US stooge. Should I
take this to mean that our fearless leader's title
is now governer of the american state of australia?

This came up again the day before the release. Funny
about that. Swedish Police had previously showed no
further interest in looking at the matter.

An international organisation that is an american

Here's an interesting tweet about that:

Sarah Palin says Julian Assange should be hunted down
like Osama bin Laden. So he should be safe for at least
a decade.

The tone of many of the cables is that Iran is a huge threat.
This according to ME Rulers who look like paranoid idiots that
spend alot of time hiding under the bed (Until the US saves
them). Debunks the Obama olive branch policy.

It follows a book by Bob Woodward detailing the civil war
in Washington over Iraq.

Both follow Obama's wanting a quick exit strategy from
Afganistan. Others in washington want to push ahead with
annexation so they can finish the 18th century british
dream and americanise the savages.

Woodwards book re-wrote this sort of stuff in flowery
prose. Wikileaks published it raw and it went off like
a bomb. Who knew the other clinton was himmler
re-incarnate.

There have been alot of leaks in the beltway on these
matters. Does this mean all the wasington press should
be jailed? Is Bob "watergate" Woodward a traitor?

Since it embarasses obama and the tone, its not hard to tell,
generally, where these came from and the motivation. You
might question the wisdom of Assange jumping, open slather,
into someone elses civil war.

There was an attempts to smother the leaks, but most
media caught on. ALP pushing yellow cake? :-)

Been enjoying the read. Bet certain Canberra residents
are having trouble sleeping.
