Damn, I just saw Colbert's show from yesterday where he interviewed one of the head Wikileaks guys. Colbert kept slipping out of character and attacking him for real. Ouch. He did have valid points. I didn't know Wikileaks edits the stuff.

I saw the video and it wasn't that bad. I mean we definitely need to figure out how to stop shit like that from happening in the future, that is an absolute necessity, but it's not like OMG W0RCR1M3Z!!!!111 either. sheesh.
So, WikiLeaks is back in the news for displaying classified docs. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11882092

New York Congressman Pete King has called for the US Attorney General to designate Wikileaks a terrorist organisation and to prosecute founder Julian Assange for espionage.
EDIT: This is the man who may have leaked the Docs http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11874276

Interpol is now after Assange. Conspiracy nuts are going to love this.
It's hard to ignore the timing.
Apparently the leaks next year are about a major bank. That's probably what did him in.
I can't wait for the Bank of America leaks.
If Assange becomes a martyr, I will cry for humanity.
No one will care, as usual. Let's talk about Don't Ask Don't Tell some more!Quote:
