Wikileaks, journalism must defend Assange

Julian Assange , and I share the doubts of many who know him , concerning the investigation of his romantic adventures. What I know is that for days, namely since I started Publications Wikileaks, I camped in front of each evening on TV, the face of a man who is in Italy's foreign minister and shake, and that says that man should be arrested as soon as possible because - wonderful to be heard! - "Want to destroy the world." I do not recall a similar phrase used to Bin Laden after the September 11, 2001. He said he wanted to destroy America. But to bring down the world, no less, no one spoke. As for the Muslim religion, the more reasonable they learned to avoid contamination, leaving in bad company who rants on an inferior civilization (Berlusconi, 09/26/2001: "The West must be aware of the superiority of its civilization"). If only because there is a sura of the Koran (the 3: 97) in that regard is clear: God does not move before the unbelievers, for "sufficient unto itself and can do without the worlds." In file Wikileaks is not much, for truth, but in the end is what counts and Frattini know: what really counts, and that the Italian rulers is crucial disasters satanic, it is the media revolution, which Wikileaks confirms and amplifies extraordinarily.
is the assault on the Winter Palace
that brings fear to the false thrones where they sit, often false king. Even in information reigned, until yesterday, the Westphalian order: Every sovereign state has its own information in closed pens national carefully separated. Instead here is that Wikileaks talks about the world and the world, it opens up a great eye inquisitive, King debunks that are not kings, diplomats who sfangano without leaving the mud. The cable is often insipid insipid because they are the rulers which are reserved. And the efforts are of little use when embarking Leslie Gelb, president of the Council of Foreign Relations, struck by the discovery, in dispatches, a U.S. diplomat lame maybe, but at least Sgobba to dissolve planetary nodes, at least "one works hard. " Even before this we camp: a global, cross-party to do that not only discredits Assange but deadly trap. Must be why Hillary Clinton , unaware of the ridicule and pretending to rescue our financial stability, has decided to take a chair, place it next to Berlusconi, and to proclaim it "the best friend of America." A defense embarrassing, however, because the Secretary of State comes from this story very bad shape, and beside it is an advantage at least as an intercessor on.
Wikileaks it throws a light on Clinton ugly, dark. It was she who lead many diplomats, who also makes a noble profession, to wear a dress quite different: that of light, which brings stealth partners (including UN summits, including Ban Ki-moon) to steal credit card numbers, frequent flyer card codes, private details perhaps one day be used as pressure or blackmail. It is not on trial here, the classic hypocrisy of diplomatic language and action: this is well-vice, which the embassy is a form of courtesy, peace in the quarrel. The blame is not a little ashamed of diplomatic activity in degraded sycophants. They say that everywhere you do things like: no consolation. But the dispatches reveal what is more fundamental: it is the policy of the Member - America in the lead - and their deafening lack of preparation. Unpreparedness revolutionary emergence of online transparency, Wikileaks began long before he was born in 2006: If you really keep the secret, do not you put it in a circle as was the case with the cable, making it available to 3 million U.S. officials as well as the site Department of Defense SIPRNet. You write on top secret dispatches, and Wikileaks seems to respect it.

is not the fault of politics and the media where the secrets come out, ruining cobwebs laborious diplomatic and jeopardizing the sources of Ambassadors. Nor is it the fault of the dispatches if the entire Western politics is full of murky contradictions. Contradictions that Wikileaks not discovered, but confirmed: starting with complicity in the fight against terror with unsavory countries, including Saudi Arabia

and

Pakistan. Iran is the enemy ever, writes Stephen Kinzer Guardian on-line, "but who is in Riyadh to Islamabad? At the same time when King Abdullah asked the U.S. ambassador to "cut the serpent's head" of Iran, another telegram stated: "Donors Saudis remain the chief financiers of Sunni militant groups like al Qaeda." There are scenes that could figure in the serial breathtaking 24: Another misfortune agent Jack Bauer, struggling with the Left mists of the Administration. It is this duplicity of the country, Saudi Arabia, which Washington supplying weapons, hugely increasing: last sale was in September last year and amounted to 60 billion dollars, a record never achieved. The same is true of the covenant with Karzai, Afghan president corrupt, and above all with Islamabad, which Washington won, from 11 September, 18 billion dollars. Pakistanis have long service (ISI) support the Taliban under the table. On all these things Assange throws a strong light, ripping veils. As in Italy ripping veils on clandestine visits to Berlusconi in Russia: no journalist follows him, the TV so lavish of his images do not show anything or show him that wanders in Rome - boss surrounded by bodyguards: the movie is a blockbuster of Tg1 - As he stands at the dacha with Putin not to manufacture know which lucrative energy agreement, indifferent to the solidarity between Europeans and the right of Italians to information. The TG1 has even ventured on Thursday, a comparison between the premier and glorious Enrico Mattei. Frattini said he would, according to Wikileaks: I know nothing of this marriage. But because he speaks, he does not know?
speaks because this is the key word, to speak out in conservative Italian government criminalize Assange.
Sarah Palin, in unison with Rome, claims that the founder of Wikileaks is "slaughtered like an agent with anti-American blood in their hands". The former presidential candidate Huckabee invokes the execution for treason. All this because Assange, the informant in an avalanche, is a breath of air in rooms that lack of oxygen. It's like Beppe Grillo, when he listed the Herald Tribune 11/22/2005 politicians who are convicted in the Parliament. It's wrong, perhaps, hypocrisy and bare secrets of diplomacy, the war is hypocritical, always has something too pure. But between now and terrorism, it takes. The image of the planet destroyer Assange is the most colossal banality of evil.
Even worse would be to impose 52 years in prison Bradley Manning, the twenty-three military analyst accused of having given information to Wikileaks and videos on U.S. actions in Iraq or Afghanistan. The gag which is spoken in Italy would become global, and Manning's conviction a crime against freedom of conscience and expression. It would be a penalty of imprisonment not less indecent inflicted decades ago in

Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli nuclear technician who revealed to the world, 5 October '86 in the Sunday Times the existence of the nuclear plant at Dimona in the Negev desert (18 years in prison, 11 of them in isolation). Seumas Milne Guardian on December 2 points to the essential: while Manning was demonized American airmen killed in 2007 just for fun, in Iraq, a dozen unarmed civilians (including two Reuters journalists) were praised by the U.S. military for their "court sense" (sound Judgement). Manning is a whistleblower , as the Americans say: a person from within an organization it exposes misdeeds. A figure to be protected, that democracy is first in the hierarchy. Daniel Ellsberg is no coincidence

, the whistleblower who allowed the publication of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 on the disastrous war in Vietnam, considers Manning a "hero." Maybe Assange is a chaotic stream that the press stems with intelligence. Diplomacy gets a shot dangerous: to improve has to learn to keep the secrets, before taking it to the director of Wikileaks. But surely the world would defend him with public information initiatives, whatever the damage he has caused. Just because it was made obscene equation between blood and ink, and information from the terror that put the lie to the sovereign. Including the world-rulers depreciated as Berlusconi.
