Will WikiLeaks unravel the American 'secret government'?

[Ed Jewett]

Albarelli's "A Terrible Mistake" makes it clear that the US has studied, researched, developed and practiced "sticky and wet" extra-judicial black ops (kidnapping, detention, torture, murder) since before the 1947 creation of the national security state. It's just that they are a little more open and boastful of it these days; Cheney spoke of going to the dark side, and Obama makes jokes from the podium about his Predatory prowess. As we have seen in Seymour's "Last Circle", "the state" has people sprinkled into key positions to massage the legalities, identify the targets, and cover up or prevent any detailed or effective investigation, inquiry or commission. There is little anyone is going to do to stop or prevent "the state" (the plutocrats behind the scenes) from doing what they will or want. We are left only with whatever we can summon for our personal authenticity and accountability, and perhaps the briefest of opportunities yet to find ourselves a comfortable and secure hole and/or tunnel underneath the rocks and mud below the lip of the cliffside where we can watch and document the histories of the plunge of the lemmings, the pathological frenzy, watching carefully to see how many of the madmen get swept over, who remains and what they will do then.

Is Assange a patsy who must play his fatal role? Can he be rescued legally? What of Manning and the others who hacked, or fed, the info? What of the many (innocent, uninvolved, peripherally curious, or activist) who will be listed, hurt, or marked?

We live in a world filled with moral imbeciles and thugs.
