It's not based in the US though.  (to my knowledge.) 


So what.

Don't see how the US can coopt the site with it not being in the US.

Not effectivly anyway.

If it was a case of money I'd imagine this wouldn't be posted as that guy would be on an island somewhere drinking mohitos. 


Hosting it in US won't be good for credibility, you know... Once the gov finds a way, then somewhat neutral country is totally OK.

As for the second part, that would be rather minor/uninteresting "solution", as there is certain potential for some major win which I explained.

Its interesting to note that these "dipplomats" are probably some brutal murder and puppet string pullers themselves caring nothing for the lives of thousands, infrastructure or countries they need to affect.

 

But somehow we the people and wikileaks need to be dumbfounded and sympathetic under the "over cried 'wolf' cry"

of this affects terrorsts.

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me well into a decade shame on me.

Oh and "US diplomats spying on UN Leadership."

Which is what Diplomats do.   Diplomats are spies.


I'm glad somebody pointed this out.

Nobody at the UN is going to be shocked or amazed that their fellow diplomats are trying to sneak as much information as they can out of each other. They may not say it, but they all know it.

In defence of diplomats, their jobs do entail a lot more than just spying, though.

The US government has been violating US laws for decades.  It has been abusing nations around for world for just as long.  Since the US government refuses to follow US or international law and these actions are totally non-violent, maybe they will be good if they help keep the US government in check since almost nothing else seems to work.  Maybe the entire world will be better off because of this.

. Of course since we citizens have basically zero power to control government anymore, the UN can.


Are you serious?

What can the UN do to the united states, if it can't even do anything to... anyone?

UN = USA best friend

Well, the UN was created by the US and it's allies at the time to help increase their power in the world and that has continued to work out well.  It's isn't the most effective or efficient organization, that's for sure, but it can do some things.  But yes, they often tend to favor the nations that created it and still have lots of power in it.

Nevertheless, the US government is out of control and these releases may help with that a little.

I think it's fairly obvious at this point Wikileaks is secretly being funded by The Commnunist Party of China or a similar organization to undermine the United States and the United Nations.

 

The United Nations? Wikileaks hasn't really done anything to them. Also there are plenty of other people who would like to see this sort of information published other than the Chinese. Like me for example. =P

It also doesn't require a huge amount of money or technology to run something like this. Just some knowledge of encryption (which can be done very thoroughly these days) and enough publicity that the leaks come to you.

Besides, the UN kinda hates the US right now, they elected pretty negative US leaders for a while now... ever since the US invaded Iraq and in turn uncovered a lot of corruption in the Oil for food program.

True, true... but I mean, I forget where I learned it... I want to say Civilization 2 funny enough.

Diplomat's are basically what you call "White hat" spies.  They aren't going to do anything illegal but along with proposals and meetings and conveying info, their jobs are basically to keep their ears open, and try and overhear as much as they can.



I just want to know where they get their funding, and these documents. 



Ok... worst things i've seen so far.


-Trying to convince Slovenia to take a Guantanamo prisoner in exchange for a meeting with Obama. 

Kind... of weird, really. 

 

-North Korea sneaking Iran long ranged missles that could be used for Nuclear weapons. 

Why wasn't this just reported?  To the UN?  Why does the US not want anyone to know Iran has long range nuclear missles, when Iran has the means to make Nuclear payloads?
