Obama's war on whistleblowers suffers setback
Thomas Drake originally faced 35 years jail for leaking information that exposed corruption, serious waste and possible criminal activity at the National Security Agency US President Barack Obama's war on whistleblowers has suffered several setbacks. Two high-profile prosecutions against whistleblowers failed and the mistreatment of alleged WikiLeaks source, military analyst Bradley Manning, has been confirmed. The cases show a pattern of vindictive harassment against anyone involved in leaking information the US government deems “secret”.“La véritable histoire de WikiLeaks”, 1er eBook d’OWNI

Wikileaks : l’État, le réseau et le territoire « Mais où est-ce qu'on est ?
Politique Published on décembre 12th, 2010 | by Anthony “ Infowar ”, “ cyber warfare ”, “ opération riposte ”, “ guerre de l’information ”, … les titres couvrant l’affaire Wikileaks ont largement puisé dans le vocabulaire militaire pour décrire les événements qui ont suivi la publication des “ cables ” diplomatique par le site de Julian Assange . La multiplication des déclarations violentes de journalistes et hommes politiques à l’encontre de Wikileaks, l’acharnement des États a vouloir faire fermer le site en vain via les hébergeurs ou les fournisseurs de noms de domaines, et bien sûr la “riposte” des Anonymous par attaques DDoS, tout cela participe bien d’un climat de “guerre”. Mais quelle guerre ?
En quelques mois, Wikileaks a changé radicalement la vision de ce que sont des révélations journalistiques à l'heure d'Internet. La nouvelle guerre de l'information est en marche. Après avoir méticuleusement œuvré dans l’arrière-cour de l’administration américaine (en dévoilant la bavure d’un hélicoptère Apache de l’armée en Irak, puis en publiant des milliers de documents relatifs aux conflits afghan et irakien), WikiLeaks a définitivement enfoncé la porte de la sphère publique à la fin du mois de novembre.

‘Tis the Season of DDoS – WikiLeaks Edition
DDoS attacks are flying across the Internet like there is no tomorrow. Just a few days ago, a hacktivist operating under the handle “th3j35t3r” decided to single-handedly take down the Wikileaks website with a DoS tool of his ( or their ) own creation . He issued a statement on Twitter shortly after explaining that the attacks against the WikiLeaks website were made for “attempting to endanger the lives of our troops, ‘other assets’ & foreign relations.” According to our statistics, his attacks resulted in 1 day 3 hours and 50 minutes of downtime for WikiLeaks before the site was completely yanked offline by Amazon and EveryDNS . Note: Initiating a DDoS attack is illegal in many countries and we do not recommend that you participate in this or future campaigns.(ebooks) OWNI shop [ Go to french version ] - Sunday 31 March 2013 OWNI.eu
Jay Rosen on Wikileaks: “The watchdog press died; we have this instead.”
Could WikiLeaks, the organization that caused more than a migraine for diplomats around the world, join the ranks of other Noble Peace Prize winners? This what Snorre Valen – a member of the Norwegian Parliament – hopes. This 26 year-old blogger/musician/government official submitted his nomination to the Noble Peace Prize committee, which ultimately shook the White House. Parliament members, university chancellors, presidents, and past winners are able to suggest names of individuals and organizations for this prestigious award. A decision should be made by early October, and if WikiLeaks wins it will follow last year’s winner Liu Xiaobo. It is not unusual for organizations to be nominated; since 1901, several organizations have been distinguished for their work .
