WikiLeaks under attack by CIA and Pentagon

Intelligence Agencies Allegedly Going to Extremes to Suppress Video Confirming Pentagon Massacre Cover-up
By Scott Thill, AlterNet

On April 5, online truth and transparency advocate WikiLeaks.org plans to release at the National Press Club what it alleges is a video confirming a Pentagon cover-up of a wartime massacre of civilians and journalists committed under the leadership of General David Petraeus.

In a recent editorial that was later scrubbed, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange claimed WikiLeaks is under fire from American and international intelligence agencies angered by his site’s oversharing of the global village’s dark political and financial secrets, and that they are responding with harassment, surveillance, unnecessary detention and worse.

7. Disgusting. I watched all 39 minutes.

Made some quotes and also had my 2nd post ever deleted at DU.

Our fearless leaders should find a better way to spend money andf be a positive force in the world.

One wonders what a Hellfire missile costs?

One wonders what a Reuters photographer willing to go into an active war zone is "worth"?

We are expanding our military footprints in Latin America (drugs and socialists, oh my) and Africa (pirates and Al Quaeda, oh my).

Volunteer soldiers deserve our respect because they protect our freedoms and spread freedom and democracy. Hell yeah.

10. Foot soldiers for corporations, period

Of course, for some that's like suggesting that Santa Claus doesn't exist

9. Please get in a fight with the internet, you assholes.

You can't bomb slashdot and 4chan.

12. Kick

13. I find this sadly laughable. No one cares about the war once the yellow ribbons fade.

People don't want to see what they are supporting. Technically I think all the pubs who supported the iraq war needs this shoved in their faces.

16. "I think all the pubs who supported the iraq war needs this shoved in their faces"

All who supported the war should be on the ground in that video.

18. The U.S. may not be nazis, but...

The differences seem rather small when viewed from this,umm, perspective.

19. This means that it will never reach the masses

we will be the only ones who know about it

[spanone]

20. too late generals

[ShamelessHussy]

21. hopefully it has been posted to multiple sites by now

i wonder if google will stand up to american censorship, and not censor it from youTube, but I doubt it will last there very long, if this story is true.
