Peter Lemkin Wrote:SVT, Sweden's national television broadcaster, has made available an "exclusive rough-cut" of its one-hour, in-depth documentary on WikiLeaks. The video, in its current format, will be available on the SVT Play website until Monday, December 13.Just finished watching the whole thing and I recommend others do likewise. If nothing else, you'll find the way it revisits the 'Collateral Murder' video deeply moving - especially in the way it dissects the wounding, and later killing of the gravely wounded Reuters cameraman and the father who had stopped his van to help him. It really is grossly sickening stuff.
The video has altered my perspective and judgment a bit too. Having an autocratic prime-mover is a two-edged sword. It was a major benefit to get things moving but Wikileaks are on the wrong side of it right now.
Assange is impressive throughout. He's a complex character and, as noted elsewhere, has a background that makes him a candidate for mind-control shenanigans. However, on balance I'm now inclined to take him at face value.
It is equally clear that the US and it's puppets are now fully mobilized against Internet whistleblowing in general and Wikileaks in particular. I have little doubt that there is some draconian stuff in the pipeline.
PS - Note the Fox News guy - Christian W.... something I think. He too is enough to make you retch.
