Hmm …
You know, it has been a while since I’ve posted about WikiLeaks.
But — since Julian Assange’s bailing — there’s not much that I’ve seen that I though could be worth mentioning to you.
Until a piece of news floated past my attention …
It seems that — in the middle of December of last year — the US District Court for Virginia had subpœnaed Twitter: in order to get hold of the details of Julian Assange, Pfc Manning, who’d leaked the cables to WikiLeaks in the first place, and Icelandic MP Birgitta Jonsdottir, who’d helped frame Iceland’s Modern Media Initiative, which made Iceland a have for investigative journalism.
Who, understandably, was a touch Tweeted off.

Now, quite what this all implies, I’m not sure.
But to me … ?
It look’s like the US is still after the whistle blowing site.
Personally … ?
I personally don’t think any better for them for doing so.

Post a Comment
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
