I don't know if you all have heard about it, but it's pretty big. Basically the U.S. has called every powerful leader in the world some sort of insulting name.

We dun goofed

Lol the guy who created the site is one the most wanted criminals... that's what I heard.

Damn, the USA is in trouble then.

Heard of this, I was surprised to hear they put the creator on the Most Wanted list, must be some serious crap.

Interpol (the international police force) basically doesn't care if he's dead or alive right now.

He went Saddam Hussein on us and is hiding in a hole.

Lol, probably. You know, I still remember it when they found him?

Meh, I bet you if some guy sitting at a computer can turn up all that stuff than the other countries spy forces have already done so a long time ago.

With great fanfare, the Wikileaks people unveiled a whole slew of new classified US memos this week, causing many senior officials at the state department to pre-emptively warn against the diplomatic fallout that would result from their release. Publicly circulating this archive of unflattering language and blunt assessments, they said, risked damaging America’s relationship with key allies, and would expose to the world sophisticated and disturbing analytical profiles on the nation’s enemies.
Now that the documents are out, however, it’s a bit disappointing to see how dull and conventional much of the American analysis of foreign nations and their leaders actually is. Very little that the Wikileaks memos say has never been heard before — indeed, much of it has been said countless times, in much harsher terms, all over the place.
Among the revelations the press has politely treated as “shocking,” for instance, we are told that Vladimir Putin is still very much in charge of Russia, and bosses around President Medvedev, that David Cameron is an inexperienced and naive politician, and that Canada suffers from an “inferiority complex” towards the United States.
Even the stuff on the world’s so-called “rogue states” doesn’t seem that scandalous, and merely reconfirms what is already mainstream conventional wisdom. Pakistan is covertly aiding the Taliban in Afghanistan. Iran’s nuclear ambitions frighten most of the Middle East. China is relatively indifferent to the fate of North Korea.
The National Post has a good little summary of some of the other international profiles (scroll down).
Wikileaks supporters have been eager to play up their leaked memos as evidence that the US will never again be able to keep secrets from the public in the age of the Internet. If this is the caliber of secret their government is hiding, however, then America’s ability to keep things on the DL is clearly a much bigger problem than any one particular website.

Everyone already knew Putin was still running Russia. Medvedev is a figurehead.

Now you get to see how shit your country is. Yay.

And the best thing is that the founder is an Aussie :)

Yeah, and the founder needs to be executed.

I wouldn't go that far...
He is an Australian citizen so if he gets charged he would be sentence to an Australian prison and we don't have the death penalty.

Time to move to Canada. IM COMING SKWEEKS!

American has been screwed for quite awhile now, it's just that this time it's economic screw, actually it kinda is.

But Switzerland issued the arrest warrant. Actually, they arrested him this morning. They're going to have to decide whether to send him somewhere else or not.

Wikileaks is quite amusing.

He got arrested this morning.

He is being jailed for "sex charges", more like a US fabrication.

Australia are trying to get him back here for a trial instead of Switerland.

Julian Assange is my hero.
A 16-year old Dutch man kid has been arrested for putting the Mastercard website and payment system down.
He's part of the Anonymous group; and he's from the same city I'm from, The Hague.
