Main Page - WikiSpooks WikiLeaks Reloaded: Les suites de la fuite » Article » OWNI, Digital Journalism Plus que la transparence, WikiLeaks pose la question du fonctionnement de la machinerie diplomatique. Pour Jean-Noël Lafargue, cela vient renforcer un climat de méfiance généralisée. Retour en quatre articles sur le "CableGate". 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. Les journaux qui ont accompagné l’opération se confondent en explications déontologiques ; la diplomatie mondiale est embarrassée mais s’affirme solidaire ; de nombreuses personnalités de la politique mondiale proposent la mise hors-la-loi de WikiLeaks et de ses responsables ; Élisabeth Roudinesco affirme: […] Il faudra trouver une parade à la sottise infantile des nouveaux dictateurs de la transparence. Le problème n’est pas la transparence, mais la manipulation Des maîtres du monde bien plus faibles que prévu Julian Assange, énigme au cœur des attentions Martyr de la liberté d’informer ?
Conversation avec Julian Assange (Wikileaks) 1/3 par legrandsoir Hans Ulrich Obrist s’entretient longuement avec Julian Assange sur sa vie et son oeuvre Hans Ulrich Obrist : Comment est-ce que tout a commencé ? Julian Assange : j’ai grandi en Australie dans les années 70. Mes parents étaient comédiens, dans le théâtre. J’ai donc vécu un peu partout, dans plus de cinquante villes différentes. J’ai fréquenté trente sept établissements scolaires différents. Enfant, j’étais curieux de tout, je demandais toujours « pourquoi », je voulais toujours dépasser les barrières de l’ignorance. HUO : il vous manquait donc quelque chose. JULIAN ASSANGE : Il me manquait quelque chose. L’histoire repose sur trois types d’information et un de ces types nous échappe. HUA : C’est quelque chose d’implicite JULIAN ASSANGE : Il y a un système qui la préserve. Il y a ensuite le troisième type d’information, celui auquel je m’intéresse. HUO : un comportement plus subtil. JULIAN ASSANGE : exact, plus subtil, plus nuancé. HUO : Ce qui explique clairement votre parcours.
#wlfind Cable Digging and Discovery Tools compiled by @x7o @wikileaks #cablegate #wikileaks #news Submitted by x7o on Mon, 01/17/2011 - 05:49 Wikileaks' Cablegate site is well laid out and easy to navigate, using the metadata navigation links on the left sidebar. This is the most up to date place to search for Cablegate material. Drawbacks: No search function Some cables are retracted in new updates, and are not retained on the official site LeakyLinks Mirror Monitor If the official site is ever down, LeakyLinks keeps an extremely useful list of all of the some 2000 mirrors of Wikileaks site - sites that have signed up for the Wikileaks mass mirroring programme. Leakfeed Leakfeed.com provides a handy assortment of different feeds, in various languages, for those who want to keep as up to date as possible on the cables using a feed system. Cablegate Database on Google Fusion Tables While the cables are being released slowly, in batches, in collaboration with Wikileaks' media partners, a database generated from the metadata of the entire cache was released in November by The Guardian.

WikiLeaks cables: US agrees to tell Russia Britain's nuclear secrets • Intelligence-sharing arrangements with the US became strained after the controversy over Binyam Mohamed, the former Guantánamo Bay detainee who sued the Government over his alleged torture. • David Miliband disowned the Duchess of York by saying she could not “be controlled” after she made an undercover TV documentary. • Tens of millions of pounds of overseas aid was stolen and spent on plasma televisions and luxury goods by corrupt regimes. A series of classified messages sent to Washington by US negotiators show how information on Britain’s nuclear capability was crucial to securing Russia’s support for the “New START” deal. Although the treaty was not supposed to have any impact on Britain, the leaked cables show that Russia used the talks to demand more information about the UK’s Trident missiles, which are manufactured and maintained in the US. Washington lobbied London in 2009 for permission to supply Moscow with detailed data about the performance of UK missiles.
Cryptome Billions meant for struggling homeowners may pay down deficit instead By Pro PublicaThursday, August 25, 2011 20:52 EDT With housing prices dropping sharply, and foreclosure filings against more than 1 million properties in the first half of this year, the Obama administration is scrambling for ways to help homeowners. One place they won’t be looking: an estimated $30 billion from the bailout that was slated to help homeowners but is likely to remain unspent. Instead, Congress has mandated that the leftover money be used to pay down the debt. Of the $45.6 billion in Trouble Asset Relief Program funds meant to aid homeowners, the most recent numbers available show that only about $2 billion has actually gone out the door. The low number reflects how little the government’s home loan modification and other programs have actually helped homeowners deal with the foreclosure crisis. The programs have been marked by poor oversight and consistent under-enrollment. The other ideas the administration is looking at have received mixed reviews. Pro Publica
WikiLeaks cables: We can't control Duchess of York, David Miliband told angry Turks The Duchess disguised herself with a black wig and headscarf to film secretly inside state-run institutions in Turkey for the ITV1 film Duchess and Daughters: Their Secret Mission, in 2008. The Turkish government was incensed, accusing the Duchess of a politically-motivated “smear campaign” aimed at ruining Turkey’s hopes of joining the European Union. In an attempt to placate the Turks, Mr Miliband invited the country’s foreign minister, Ali Babacan, to his constituency home in South Shields. In a cable from the US embassy in Ankara in November, 2008, obtained by WikiLeaks, diplomats noted: “Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson’s undercover expose of Turkish orphanages dominated bilateral relations discussions. The Duchess, who has herself fallen victim to an undercover sting when she was filmed trying to sell access to her ex-husband, the Duke of York, for £500,000, later apologised for any “embarrassment” she had caused the Turks, but added: “I stand by my words.”
Wikileaks - Vicepresidencia del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia #wlfind Give Us a Year to Remember, CrowdSourcerers Over the past week, WikiLeaks has released 133,887 US diplomatic cables from around the world - more than half of the entire Cablegate material (251,287 cables). The new release was met with a sustained Denial of Service (DOS) attack during the first 36 hours. WikiLeaks had to rely on back-up servers for some hours. With supporters’ help, WikiLeaks was able to bring in additional servers to stave off the attack. For the first time, the diplomatic cables are available from every country that has US diplomatic representation. Nine months ago today, WikiLeaks launched Cablegate together with four media partners (Der Spiegel, El Pais, Le Monde, the Guardian) and the New York Times (who obtained the cables from the Guardian). Cablegate launched nine months ago today. The decision to publish 133,877 cables was taken in accordance with WikiLeaks’ commitment to maximising impact, and making information available to all. Crowdsourcing is not at odds with journalism. Leakfeed CablegateSearch Kabels
