Wikileaks Afghan Diary
The infamous anonymous information leaking site is at it again. Stop by any mainstream news blog and you will see differing opinions on the 90,000+ papers leaked so far. The usual information coming out to dismiss the leaked documents of course. Along with those believing this revelation of information could be enough for people around the world to demand the end of Afghan occupation.
I am vehemently against war and want to have the same positive viewpoint here but my esoteric side cautions me to beware. I think everyone needs to be on alert for any important news or events we are not hearing about while this news flashes in our face saying, “hey hey look over here”. So let us see where this information goes but we unlike the media need to be able to see what else might be going on.
Hey Piration, You pulled yourself away from your phone? Or maybe you posted from it!
Some think this WikiLeak thing is another government scam to put the military in a bad light, so that hiring private security firms, or using CIA and whatever, doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.
Plus, they can say that they brought the troops home as promised, and in the case of Iraq, under the terms of a 2008 status of forces agreement, all US troops must be out by the end of 2011.
Indeed we will still have a very strong presence in these ‘unstable regions’ that are going through ‘transition’, with plenty of our ‘contractors’, and ‘US Diplomats’.
I’ve always felt that the whole “Wikileaks” deal was a little suspect. They keep saying “don’t blame the messenger”, but where is the message coming from, and what is the true purpose of releasing this information?
In fact I DID post from it.
The Android WordPress app is much better than my old Blackberry app.
My personal impression today was on my internet news feeds, whether it was a conspiracy related site or a main stream site the Wikileaks news was literally plasters everywhere. At work CNN Headline News was on and I saw a couple mentions of it for maybe 30secs. I definitely believe Wikileaks is being used or CAN be used for good or bad and my gut along with others has believed something is not right. XposeA provides some interesting context to one possible benefit from the situation.
The more the general public realises that the Government has hidden agendas the better really, eventually though the Gov will just create another bloody big war that our children and their children will be forced to fight in.
War the greatest game for teenage hormones ever.
