WIKILEAKS PHENOMENA
Julian Assange answers your questions | World news | guardian.co.uk
Fwoggie I'll start the ball rolling with a question. You're an Australian passport holder - would you want return to your own country or is this now out of the question due to potentially being arrested on arrival for releasing cables relating to Australian diplomats and polices? Julian Assange : I am an Australian citizen and I miss my country a great deal. However, during the last weeks the Australian prime minister, Julia Gillard, and the attorney general, Robert McClelland, have made it clear that not only is my return is impossible but that they are actively working to assist the United States government in its attacks on myself and our people.

The State is a condition, a certain relationship between human beings, a mode of behavior; we destroy it by contracting other relationships, by behaving differently toward one another....We are the state, and we shall continue to be the state until we have created the institutions that form a real community and society of men. Gustav Landauer , Schwache Stattsmanner, Schwacheres Volk!, June, 1910 The truth is not found on the page, but is a wayward sprite that bursts forth from the readers mind for reasons of its own. I once thought that the Truth was a set comprised of all the things that were true, and the big truth could be obtained by taking all its component propositions and evaluating them until nothing remained. I would approach my rhetorical battles as a logical reductionist, tearing down, atomizing, proving, disproving, discarding falsehoods and reassembling truths until the Truth was pure, golden and unarguable.
La tragédie wikileaks – Christian Fauré
C’est peut-être la première fois que j’écris une note en me demandant comment je vais faire un lien vers l’organisation dont je parle, à savoir Wikileaks. Voilà le premier problème que pose wikileaks, site chassé du web par des hébergeurs, puis par le DNS qui apparaît comme single point of failure du web , une clé de voute du système trop centralisée pour susciter un intérêt renouvelé pour des DNS en p2p . Deuxième remarque : Une divulgation numérique de masse Outre ce débat sur les DNS et l’architecture du web, on parle également de liberté d’expression à propos de l’affaire wikileaks. En l’occurrence je ne vois pas trop bien pourquoi car il ne s’agit pas tellement de l’expression d’une thèse ou d’une idée mais d’une « divulgation numérique de masse » , sans commentaires, et rendue possible par l’évolution du système technologique.
Voilà, c’est fait, Wikileaks a effectivement entamé la diffusion des centaines de télégrammes diplomatiques qui lui ont été transmis et, comme prévu, on s’affole un peu partout.

Admire him or revile him, WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange is the prophet of a coming age of involuntary transparency, the leader of an organization devoted to divulging the world’s secrets using technology unimagined a generation ago. Over the last year his information insurgency has dumped 76,000 secret Afghan war documents and another trove of 392,000 files from the Iraq war into the public domain–the largest classified military security breaches in history. Sunday, WikiLeaks made the first of 250,000 classified U.S. State Department cables public, offering an unprecedented view of how America’s top diplomats view enemies and friends alike. In a rare, two-hour interview conducted in London on November 11, Assange said that he’s still sitting on a trove of secret documents, about half of which relate to the private sector. And WikiLeaks’ next target will be a major American bank.
