Wikileaks fait des petits - Transnets - Blog LeMonde.fr On peut dire ce qu'on veut, la multiplication des clones de Wikileaks (avec variantes) est un hommage que nous ne saurions garder secret. En voici quelques exemples trouvés parmi les nouveautés du mois. Si vous en avez d'autres nous pourrions faire une liste susceptible de donner des idées à d'autres. Bill Keller, patron de la rédaction du New York Times a déclaré au blog The Cutline (Yahoo) qu'il envisage une initiative pour faciliter la remise de documents dans le style Wikileaks. Il s'agit en fait de copier Al Jazeera qui avait créé dès janvier une "Unité de transparence " à laquelle n'importe qui peut remettre tout matériau pouvant donner lieu à une enquête. En France, Mediapart, a créé FrenchLeaks.fr [Lien rajouté le 28 mars] qui permet la remise anonyme de documents qu'il se propose de vérifier. "En choisissant la référence a Wikileaks," m'a expliqué Carlos Fernando Chamorro, directeur de la publication, "j'ai pensé que le lecteur comprendrait immédiatement de quoi il s'agit.
TNS Digital Life | Internet Statistics & Social Media Usage | Online Behavior & Trends 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. “We are journalists,” he told the owner of the house. Eyjafjallajökull had recently begun erupting, and he said, “We’re here to write about the volcano.” 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. “That’s for you,” she said.

Don't shoot messenger for revealing uncomfortable truths Elizabeth Cook's artist impression of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's appearance at Westminster Magistrates Court in London, where he was denied bail after appearing on an extradition warrant. Source: AP WIKILEAKS deserves protection, not threats and attacks. IN 1958 a young Rupert Murdoch, then owner and editor of Adelaide's The News, wrote: "In the race between secrecy and truth, it seems inevitable that truth will always win." His observation perhaps reflected his father Keith Murdoch's expose that Australian troops were being needlessly sacrificed by incompetent British commanders on the shores of Gallipoli. Nearly a century later, WikiLeaks is also fearlessly publishing facts that need to be made public. I grew up in a Queensland country town where people spoke their minds bluntly. These things have stayed with me. WikiLeaks coined a new type of journalism: scientific journalism. Democratic societies need a strong media and WikiLeaks is part of that media. We are the underdogs.

I love WikiLeaks for restoring distrust in our most important institutions. - By Jack Shafer International scandals—such as the one precipitated by this week's WikiLeaks cable dump—serve us by illustrating how our governments work. Better than any civics textbook, revisionist history, political speech, bumper sticker, or five-part investigative series, an international scandal unmasks presidents and kings, military commanders and buck privates, cabinet secretaries and diplomats, corporate leaders and bankers, and arms-makers and arms-merchants as the bunglers, liars, and double-dealers they are. The recent WikiLeaks release, for example, shows the low regard U.S. secretaries of state hold for international treaties that bar spying at the United Nations. Both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her predecessor, Condoleezza Rice, systematically and serially violated those treaties to gain an incremental upper hand. As WikiLeaks proved last summer, the U.S. military lied about not keeping body counts in Iraq, even though the press asked for the information a million times.
