The New York Times deserves credit for having reported on the U.S. intel community’s plan to discredit Wikileaks a few days ago. More to the point, this should help to convince those who may be coming to this late to the game that, yes, this is legitimate. Our nation’s intelligence service has targeted this website for destruction, and is most likely carrying out some variant on the plan at this very moment.

Pentagon 'is investigating Wikileaks whistleblower website leaking top secret documents

The Pentagon has been accused of spying on a whistleblower website that specialises in leaking top secret documents.

The US Army has already deemed Wikileaks a security threat to military operations.

That much is known because the online muckrakers posted the classified 2008 report from the Army Counterintelligence Center on its own site earlier this month.

The report also called for an investigation into Wikileaks to track down moles and demanded prosecutions to scare potential informants from contacting the rogue organisation.

But now Wikileaks - which won Amnesty International’s new media award last year - has issued a flurry of Tweets claiming its editors are already being investigated.

Judging from the messages, the site believes the probe is linked to its plan to make public unencrypted footage of an air strike in Afghanistan on May 7 last year that killed 97 civilians.

The Pentagon reportedly planned to release the video, but back-pedalled after it allegedly turned out to be more incriminating than at first thought.

Wikileaks has promised to reveal a ‘Pentagon Murder Cover-up’ at the National Press Club in Washington on April 5, although it hasn’t offered any further information about the event.

The most recent Wikileaks Tweets, in chronological order, read:
WikiLeaks is currently under an aggressive US and Icelandic surveillance operation. Following/photographing/filming/detaining.
If anything happens to us, you know why: it is our Apr 5 film. And you know who is responsible.
Two under State Dep diplomatic cover followed our editor from Iceland to http://skup.no on Thursday.
One related person was detained for 22 hours. Computer’s seized.That’s http://www.skup.no
We know our possession of the decrypted airstrike video is now being discussed at the highest levels of US command.
If you know more about the operations against us, contact https://secure.wikileaks.org/
We have been shown secret photos of our production meetings and been asked specific questions during detention related to the airstrike.
We have airline records of the State Dep/CIA tails. Don’t think you can get away with it. You cannot. This is WikiLeaks.
To those worrying about us – we’re fine, and will issue a suitable riposte shortly.’

The Icelandic link is thought to involve Wikileaks involvement in helping to draft legislation that would help make the country a safe haven for investigative journalists by passing the strongest combination of source protection, freedom of speech and libel tourism protection laws in the world.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Collateral Murder
Overview

5th April 2010 10:44 EST WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad -- including two Reuters news staff.

Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-site, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.

The military did not reveal how the Reuters staff were killed, and stated that they did not know how the children were injured.

After demands by Reuters, the incident was investigated and the U.S. military concluded that the actions of the soldiers were in accordance with the law of armed conflict and its own "Rules of Engagement".

Consequently, WikiLeaks has released the classified Rules of Engagement for 2006, 2007 and 2008, revealing these rules before, during, and after the killings.

WikiLeaks has released both the original 38 minutes video and a shorter version with an initial analysis. Subtitles have been added to both versions from the radio transmissions.

WikiLeaks obtained this video as well as supporting documents from a number of military whistleblowers. WikiLeaks goes to great lengths to verify the authenticity of the information it receives. We have analyzed the information about this incident from a variety of source material. We have spoken to witnesses and journalists directly involved in the incident.

WikiLeaks wants to ensure that all the leaked information it receives gets the attention it deserves. In this particular case, some of the people killed were journalists that were simply doing their jobs: putting their lives at risk in order to report on war. Iraq is a very dangerous place for journalists: from 2003- 2009, 139 journalists were killed while doing their work.

NATO admits guilt in Afghan slayings
Published 06 April, 2010, 18:11

NATO spokesmen have admitted culpability in the Feb. 12 deaths of five members of a family, including two pregnant women and a respected law enforcement official.

NATO officials have admitted that there was a cover-up in the death of three women and two Afghan law-enforcement personnel in Khataba, Afghanistan on Feb. 12. Troops initially claimed that the victims died before the raid. A spokesman from Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s headquarters said that the women were found tied up, gagged and already dead. However, on April 5, NATO Spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Todd Breasseale said that the women died as a result of troops firing at the men.

The investigation into the incident shows that in addition to killing the women, soldiers attempted to cover up the deaths by digging bullets out of the bodies and washing them with alcohol.

“The original story that these women died in honor killings was shown to be a lie,” said journalist David Lindorff, who reported on the story. “I think what we’re seeing is them running death squads, going into these villages looking for Taliban. We never would have heard about it if they had found Taliban.”

Lindorff says that the implications for US operations in the country are serious.

“Every time you do an attack and kill innocent people, you’re going to have relatives who are really angry, and the Afghan culture is a culture of revenge so this is going to be a bad thing for the US military,” said Lindorff.

"US forces are definitely under more pressure to limit civilian casualties – trying to limit night raids, trying to limit airstrikes. There is an effort to try and behave in a way that makes international forces more appealing to regular Afghan people,” said Jerome Snarkey, a correspondent for the Times of London based in Kabul. “But there is still a sharp edge to the US forces here. Night raids are still taking place every week and the inevitable result of these operations is civilian casualties.”

Švedske vlasti izdale su nalog za hapšenje osnivača sajta "Vikiliks" Džulijana Asanža zbog sumnje u silovanje i zlostavljanje, prenosi "Gardijan".

Nalog je izdat kasno sinoć, saopštila je portparolka kancelarije tužioca u Štokholmu.
Ona je navela da bi Asanž trebalo da kontaktira švedsku policiju radi ispitivanja povodom optužbi za zlostavljanje i silovanje u dva odvojena slučaja.


Asanž je porekao optužbe, koje je prvi objavio švedski tabloid "Ekspresen", preko naloga "Vikiliksa" na blogu "Tviter". On je ukazao da su te optužbe povezane sa objavljivanjem gomile američkih vojnih dokumenata o ratu u Avganistanu na "Vikiliksu", a u saradnji sa "Gardijanom" i još dva lista.

"Optužbe su neosnovane i njihovo objavljivanje u ovom trenutku je duboko uznemirujuće", napisao je Asanž.
Njegove ranije poruke na "Tviteru" ukazuju da su optužbe deo prljave kampanje protiv osnivača "Vikiliksa", koji je žestoko kritikovan od strane Pentagona.
"Ekspresen je tabloid. Švedska policija nije kontaktirala nikoga. Nepotrebno je reći, ovo je skretanje pažnje. Upozoreni smo da očekujemo prljave trikove. Sada imamo prvi", navedeno je.


Prošlog meseca "Vikiliks" je objavio oko 77.000 tajnih dokumenata američke vojske o ratu u Avganistanu. Američke vlasti su to kritikovale, navodeći da bi to moglo da ugrozi živote vojnika NATO i doušnika u Avganistanu.
Asanž je poručio da "Vikiliks" namerava da objavi još 15.000 dokumenata u sledećih nekoliko nedelja, što je Pentagon osudio i zahtevao brisanje svih podataka sa sajta.


Asanž, građanin Australije, boravio je prošle nedelje u Švedskoj kako bi se prijavio za dobijanje izdavačke dozvole i osigurao da sajt, koji ima servere u Švedskoj, može da iskoristi sve prednosti švedskog zakona o zaštiti takvih aktivnosti.

The Swedish Prosecution Authority website said chief prosecutor Eva Finne had come to the decision that Julian Assange was not subject to arrest.

In a brief statement Eva Finne said: "I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape."

The website said there would be no further immediate comment.

Earlier, Karin Rosander, communications head at Sweden's prosecutors' office, said there were two separate allegations against Mr Assange, one of rape and the other of molestation. She gave no details of the accusations. She said that as far as she knew they related to alleged incidents that took place in Sweden.

Osnivač „Vikiliksa” razmišlja o političkom azilu

ŽENEVA - Osnivač vebsajta „VikiLiksa” (WikiLeaks) Džulijan Asanž, australijski državljanin, izjavio je danas u Ženevi da će možda zatražiti politički azil od Švajcarske i u tu zemlju preseliti svoj vebsajt da bi bezbedno radio.

Asanž je u intervjuu za švajcarsku televizijsku stanicu TSR rekao da ozbiljno razmišlja o nastavku rada u neutralnoj Šajcarskoj.

Osnivač „VikiLiksa” boravi u Ženevi gde bi trebalo da govori u Ujedinjenim nacijama danas kada se, takođe, očekuje da Savet UN za prava čoveka objavi izveštaj o stanju ljudskih prava u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, javlja Rojters. „VikiLiks” je nedavno u nekoliko navrata razbesneo SAD objavljivanjem više desetina hiljada poverljivih vojnih ratnih izveštaja iz Avganistana i Iraka. Samo u julu je objavljeno oko 77.000 dokumenata o ratu u Avganistanu, uključujući izveštaje sa terena, obaveštajne prikaze i same akcije američkih snaga.

Dokumenta koja je objavio nisu se ticala samo SAD, već i drugih država, na primer Rusije i Libana, navodi Rojters.

Asanž je u međuvremenu pokušavao da svoj vebsajt preseli u druge zemlje i zaštiti dalji rad. Obraćao se nedavno Švedskoj, ali su mu tamošnje vlasti uskratile gostoprimstvo. Tamo je čak saslušavan za uznemiravanje, osumnjičen za silovanje i podvrgnut istrazi, mada on negira optužbe.

Asanž se obratio i vlastima u Vašingtonu pozivajući ih da detaljno istraže šta su radili njihovi vojnici u Iraku i u Avganistanu umesto što vrši, kako je rekao, „agresivnu istragu” u vezi njegovog vebsajta. „SAD su u velikoj opasnosti da izgube svoj put”, rekao je Asanž na konferenciji za novinare u Ženevi.

Američka delegacija u Ženevi je istakla da su SAD otovorene za poštenu kritiku načina na koji sprovode ljudska prava, uključujući rasnu dikriminaciju i politiku borbe protiv terorizma, navodi Rojters. „Jedina istraga za koju ja znam, a koju su pokrenule SAD je prema nama, u vezi mogućih naših izvora unutar američke armije”, rekao je osnivač „VikiLiksa” novinarima u Ženevi.
