you know im starting to think that terrorist is a pretty accurate description of assange.

Knowledge as a weapon of terror?

I look forward to Al Qaeda's suicide squad of primary school teachers threatening us with flash cards and book reports. Do as we say or we will furnish you with information and understanding! Here's hoping our security forces can keep us safely ignorant.

I remember when we used to make fun of fascists and communists and theocracies and dictators for being afraid of books and knowledge. Apparently, now truth is so threatening it even endangers the societies of free, democratic nations. When will our leaders make us safe from the truth?

As for the OP, I'm not at all surprised that the US has plans on Canada's strategic weaknesses. That's just their military being prepared for any contingency. Just diligence, nothing personal. I'm sure they have similar plans for each and every country where they have strategic interests.

If you have gained any benefit of whats been released then you must be from the taliban or some other group of terrorists.  had fun tracking down all the afghan informants listed in the first releases and murdering them? it had names and locations for them, so it must have been easy.   how are you enjoying your new shopping lists of "vital" targets, too? 

for anyone else, there is no information of any import.  there are no actual secrets revealed.  just a bunch of shit to try and embarass the US and make international diplomacy even harder.

You don't suppose that the Dutch people might like to have a public debate about whether their country should harbour nuclear weapons?

You know what the CIA's motto is? It's "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." A biblical quote which equates information with freedom. An ignorant person cannot take action on something s/he doesn't know about.

WikiLeaks is a group of idealists who believe that the more information they give all people in the world, the freer those people are. I agree that they're being extremely indiscriminate in what information they disseminate, but calling them terrorists is asinine. A terrorist is a person who tries to affect political change using fear and coercion. WikiLeaks is only terrorist if you find information threatening.

I wouldn't classify them as just plain terrorists. However I would call them cyber terrorists. Also they are using fear and Coercion. What about Assanges threat that if he is charged , killed or anything happens to him thousands more documents will be leaked? He's taking the entire United States hostage as these facts damage the countries reputation and also damage specific people.

Example the King of Saudi Arabia asking the US to bomb the shit out of Iran? He asked that in confidence and now if Iran gets a weapon guess who now might be a target? Or how about the Afghan informants who only wanted to live in peace and spread democracy, now they are being hunted down and killed thanks to these leaks. These leaks have also brought to light several soft targets as others have said.

When an organisation uses fear and threats of fear to control people. When an organisation attacks civilians by leaking out dangerous info. When a group funds virtual attacks on other governments then that group is called a cyber terrorist group.

You might think, well this only hurt the US why should I care? Well it doesn't it hurts every one of America's allies and you probubly live in one of the countries affected.
