I've not tried:D.

See my post above;).

 

I downloaded it many weeks ago (when he first put it online).

 

And so will a lot of other people. That's what makes attempts at blocking his site so stupid.

Well, I guess more cleverer people than me are trying to crack the archive. It would rather blow Assange's hole card, but this isn't a leak, it's a dribble. Someone needs to leak it from wikileaks.

 

Come on Assange, pull your finger out!

Injustice.

The latest "revelations" are a joke. The powers that be are moaning that "secret" locations, like undersea cable landing points have been revealed.

 

What, like cable landing point Widemouth Bay near Bude that has been on WIKIPEDIA for ages? If you type "cornwall undersea cable landing point" it brings up loads of results, including location and even the types of cables that come ashore!

 

A lot of stuff can already be found by Googling and Google mapping. I used to be active in the urbex scene a few years back and found some very interesting places which could easily be targeted by terrorists. Stuff like this: http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=2368

No one is saying that they are secret locations - as you say, many are freely viewable on the tinterweb. What Assange has essentially done is made public a list of places that the yanks have said 'these places are important to us'. He might as well have hand Bin Laden an atlas with lickle bulleyes all over it.

 

It doesn't take a genius to work out that the USAs list will pretty much read the same as everyones else list.

 

Fair enough, some of them are pretty obvious, and some a pretty minor - but even if it marks out a target in the mind of a terrorist that they didn't think of before, well that's unacceptable.

 

I couldn't care less about embarassed diplomats or politicians slagging each other off, but this is reckless.

Only stupid people would get any satisafction out of all this, too incredibly thick to realize that there has been a massive compromise in security which will affect all of us sooner or later

Wasn't the compromise the incompetence of the US Army to open these documents to over 1 million people? The documents are being published in the USA by the New York Times, if they were that dangerous couldn't this be stopped?

The door is open, too late was the cry... and shouldn't they be aware of the new dangers that lurk. Forewarned is forearmed!
