You do understand that Kenyans overthrowing their corrupt government that was syphoning off huge sums of money that should have gone to the people, was a good thing, don't you? Yes, lives were lost, (and lives were lost in Tunesia and Egypt) but many many more will be saved: The entire quote:
The leak exposed massive corruption by Daniel Arap Moi, and the Kenyan people sat up and took notice. In the ensuing elections, in which corruption became a major issue, violence swept the country. "1,300 people were eventually killed, and 350,000 were displaced. That was a result of our leak," says Assange. It's a chilling statistic, but then he states: "On the other hand, the Kenyan people had a right to that information and 40,000 children a year die of malaria in Kenya. And many more die of money being pulled out of Kenya, and as a result of the Kenyan shilling being debased."
The Daily Tech grossly misrepresents the Newsweek article by making this claim: "NewsWeek first reported on the murder. They report that the Taliban believes the documents showed it U.S. sources, including the murder victim, Abdullah -- whether or not they truly do."
The Newsweek article never makes the claim that Khalifa Abdullah's was a target because his name was in one of the 90,000 Afghan War logs. In fact, the Newsweek article says this:
"While it is unknown whether any of the men were indeed named in the WikiLeaks documents, it’s clear the Taliban believes they have been cooperating with Western forces and the Afghan government."
If you do a word search in the Afghan War logs: the name "Khalifa Abdullah" never shows up. Too bad The Daily Tech and Newsweek were too lazy to do any actual reporting.
