Articles and other information about Wikileaks
The articles collected below are early observations on the Wikileaks project, from 2010 after the leak of the Afghan War Diaries:
Broadly supportive
There is an extended series of articles by Arthur Silber on his "Once Upon a Time" blog [1] in ardent support of Wikileaks which repay careful study. They also contain copius links to further information.
- Wikileaks, Resistance, Genuine Heroes and Breaking the Goddam Rules [2]
- Wikileaks: The Real Stuff - Israel Shamir's blog
Wikileaks as a 'Limited Hangout' or 'is being used by Shhh you know who'
Webster Tarpley has put forward a solid argument that Wikileaks is a limited hangout.[3]

- Hidden Intelligence Operation Behind the Wikileaks Release of "Secret" Documents? - William Engdahl "The Real Story of Wikileaks has not yet been told" - Global Research 11 August 2010.

Puffed up outrage clearly in service to the official narrative
On the face of it the organisations listed here are bona-fide Establishment critics/dissidents. The problem is that they are large NGO's which, like Wikileaks itself, wiil ALWAYS be targets of the SIS's. The longer they are established, the more likely and thorough the penetration. In the case of Reporters Without Borders there is ample evidence of their complicity in furthering covert Western agendas in third world countries - especially Cuba and Venezuela
- Press freedom group joins condemnation of WikiLeaks' war logs - Reporters Without Borders accuses WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of 'incredible irresponsibility' over leaked documents. The Guardian 13 August 2010.
- Amnesty International, Human Rights Groups Ask Wikileaks To Censor Civilians' Names - Huffington Post 23 August 2010
- Wikileaks: Giving Leaks a Bad Name A blog post by Steven Aftergood of FAS - The Federations of American Scientists. In Mr Aftergood's world, there are Good leaks and there are Bad leaks. He is clearly staking his claim to be the official arbiter of which is which. The comments on this piece tell a story too.
