Britain: D-Notice Issued for Upcoming WikiLeaks Diplomatic Documents Dump
November 27th, 2010Torrent: WikiLeaks Insurance File
Via: Guardian:
David Cameron and other world leaders were being briefed by the US state department about what American diplomats fear will be contained in the expected leak of thousands of sensitive diplomatic cables sent to Washington by US ambassadors around the world.
The leak is expected to be co-ordinated by the WikiLeaks website, which has previously published secret details of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Newspaper editors were today asked to brief the government if they plan to publish sensitive diplomatic files. But Downing Street stressed that the DA (defence advisory) did not mean court action was likely to suppress publication of the documents. The issue of the so-called D-notice is supposed to be a reminder that newspapers should be concerned for UK military operations.
US officials, including the secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, have been trying to brief allies, including Cameron, on what they expect to be in the documents.
The head of the US military, Admiral Mike Mullen, called on WikiLeaks to stop the publication of the documents. “I would hope that those who are responsible for this would, at some point in time, think about the responsibility that they have for lives that they’re exposing and the potential that’s there, and stop leaking this information,” he told CNN in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday.
Mullen is a war criminal responsible for thousands of deaths of both americans and the people they are raining terror on.
I can’t decide what I think about this here are the two ideas floating around about wikileaks:
John Young’s – Its all about the money
There is a lot to be said this is mostly about wikileaks getting those doners lathered up and collecting a little cash. Personally, I do not believe this, but John makes an OK case for it at:

My Unoriginal Belief: Wikileaks has been infiltrated:
I believe this because; it sure seems like wikileaks has had a lot of bad publicity lately. Their leader might be a rapist, they are causing collaborators to be supposedly compromised and killed, they are copyright infringers, the list of their evil deeds in main stream media goes on…
I’m thinking this entire list of misdeeds greater and lesser is just establishing their credibility in the alternate media. At this point it seems like they have pretty good credibility. Now it is time to deliver the misinformation payload. Who knows what the misinformation will be, but in this next batch, I think the will be a couple of doozies.
On the plus side, the disinformation will be surrounded by tons of new revelations that are true and since the ratio of disinformation to true revelations is likely to be greater than 1000 to 1, maybe 200,000 to 1, I think we are still better off.
Now if we could only figure out which needle in the upcoming haystack is false, and why it is false. That would be information worth knowing.
