Daniel Ellsberg's Website — [2010] Wikileaks' Julian Assange "in Danger" President Obama celebrated with new U.S. citizens at a naturalization ceremony Friday as both immigration advocates and Republicans expressed outrage at his deportation proposals. President Obama celebrated the naturalization of 13 U.S. service members and seven military spouses in South Korea on Friday, congratulating the new American citizens and expressing his pride at joining the ceremony at the National War Memorial in Seoul. “If there’s anything this should teach us, it is that America is strengthened by our immigrants," he said, repeating his determination to reform the U.S. immigration system. Meanwhile, back in Washington, his administration remains wedged between a congressional Republican-generated rock-and-hard-place on the issue of immigration reform, as it has for nearly a year. How would Obama bring about this border Armageddon? It’s a tough line to straddle, since anything Obama does to appease one side is seen as a big middle finger by the other. “Here’s the attitude.

Daniel Ellsberg Says He Fears US Might Assassinate W RATIGAN: Do you see direct parallels between what’s developing here and what you went through? ELLSBURG: Yes, there does seem to be an immediate parallel between me and whoever leaked the video on the assault on the 19 or 20 Iraqis. Someone–allegedly, it was Bradley Manning–did feel that that deserved to be out. the “Reuters,” whose newspapermen were killed in the course of that, had been trying to get that through the freedom of information act for two years, as I understand it and had been refused. Let’s say whoever did it, hypothetically, Bradley Manning, showed better judgment in putting it out than the people who kept is secret from the American people and from the Iraqis. RATIGAN: What is your sense of disclosure of information to the American people today, compared to the period of time that you lived through, where there was similar issues with, with the perception of reality of information being withheld from the public? RATIGAN: Phillip, what is your understand of where Mr.
[2010] DOJ Probing Wikileaks Disclosure – Main Justice DOJ Probing Wikileaks Disclosure By Leah Nylen | July 28, 2010 10:30 am WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (Getty) The Justice Department has opened an investigation into who leaked thousands of classified documents on the war in Afghanistan to the website Wikileaks, the Attorney General said Wednesday. “The Justice Department is working with the Department of Defense with regard to an investigation concerning who the source of those leaks might be,” Attorney General Eric Holder said at a news conference at the U.S. Over the weekend, Wikileaks, a website that publishes leaked documents, published a trove of 91,000 classified U.S. military documents pertaining to the U.S. war in Afghanistan from 2004 through 2010. “I deplore the release of classified information,” Holder said.

Julian Assange profile: Wikileaks founder an uncompromising rebel | Media Julian Assange is self-consciously an individual. He thinks in his own way, primarily as a physicist, having studied pure maths and physics at university in Australia where he grew up. So, for example, explaining his decision to found Wikileaks, he starts with his interest in the physics of a small release of energy triggering a much larger release; asks what small actions might release energy for "just reform"; identifies the role of information and observes the restriction on the amount of information flowing into the system; and sees Wikileaks as a mechanism "to maximise the flow of information to maximise the amount of action leading to just reform". He also acts in his own way. He reckons he is genetically predisposed to rebel. Assange's whole lifestyle is independent. In his late teens, he says he was part of the computer underground, working on early versions of the internet, hacking into the email of the power elite.
Ellsberg paradox The Ellsberg paradox is a paradox in decision theory in which people's choices violate the postulates of subjective expected utility.[1] It is generally taken to be evidence for ambiguity aversion. The paradox was popularized by Daniel Ellsberg, although a version of it was noted considerably earlier by John Maynard Keynes.[2] The basic idea is that people overwhelmingly prefer taking on risk in situations where they know specific odds rather than an alternate risk scenario in which the odds are completely ambiguous—they will always choose a known probability of winning over an unknown probability of winning even if the known probability is low and the unknown probability could be a guarantee of winning. That is, given a choice of risks to take (such as bets), people "prefer the devil they know" rather than assuming a risk where odds are difficult or impossible to calculate.[3] The 1 urn paradox[edit] Utility theory interpretation[edit] Mathematical demonstration[edit] where See also[edit]
U.S. Urges Allies to Crack Down on WikiLeaks For five long and very strange years, death haunted tiny Dryden, NY, a town near the Finger Lakes where a plague of car accidents, suicides, and even grisly murders involving two popular cheerleaders just kept mounting up. At the end of Fargo, Frances McDormand’s police chief, Marge Gunderson, captures the psycho played by Peter Stormare. He’s in the backseat of her police cruiser and she talks to him as she drives. We see that she cannot fathom the evil she’s just seen. “And here ya are,” she says, “and it’s a beautiful day. I am not surprised by violence or horror but still sometimes find myself struck, not unlike Marge, in a kind of a daze, unable to wrap my head around it. Why do horrible things happen? In the meantime, dig into “The Cheerleaders.” The Cheerleaders by E. Welcome to Dryden. If you live in Dryden, the kids from Ithaca, that cradle of metropolitan sophistication 15 miles away, will say you live in a “cow town.” In the summer of ’96, many bonfires are built. “What?”
WikiLeaks and Julian Paul Assange The house on Grettisgata Street, in Reykjavik, is a century old, small and white, situated just a few streets from the North Atlantic. The shifting northerly winds can suddenly bring ice and snow to the city, even in springtime, and when they do a certain kind of silence sets in. This was the case on the morning of March 30th, when a tall Australian man named Julian Paul Assange, with gray eyes and a mop of silver-white hair, arrived to rent the place. Assange was dressed in a gray full-body snowsuit, and he had with him a small entourage. Assange is an international trafficker, of sorts. Iceland was a natural place to develop Project B. Assange also wanted to insure that, once the video was posted online, it would be impossible to remove. Assange typically tells would-be litigants to go to hell. In his writing online, especially on Twitter, Assange is quick to lash out at perceived enemies. In private, however, Assange is often bemused and energetic. “That’s for you,” she said.
