Peter L is not going to like this video: Sex, Lies, Iran, Israel and WikiLeaks, but it is another persuasive contribution from that video-narrator extraordinaire Anthony Lawson and I commend it to all.
My own position - in simple terms, fluid and evolving, stands right now as follows:
1. The leaks are real - but massaged and grossly manipulated with probably a plant or two - or a hundred....
2. Wikileaks has been compromised almost from the start and cannot be expected to hurt Israel in any significant fashion. John Young's complex analyses of the entire set up is about as close as we are likely to get for the time being. (The link is a Google search of the Cryptome site on the single word "Wikileaks" BTW)
BTW - I have now posted an archive of bit-torrents for the entire Wikileaks collection at WikiSpooks here The files themselves are NOT hosted on WikiSpooks (or rather most of them aren't but, from random sampling most have at least 50 live seeds and peers with the bigger ones having several hundred to well over a thousand. IOW all the info released to date is out of the box and cannot be put back in - period.
It's completeness and accuracy is another matter.
