The vimeo is from after Assange's statement he was being harrassed in Iceland and followed to Norway. John Young posted the vimeo link, a link to the full CUNY .mov file of the entire show and a strange youtube of him roaming the studio with a phone camera before the show, on the front page of cryptome.org, halfway down, where he posts letters from readers and whatnot.
I fully agree with what Young says about truly black intel, and that "leaks" is somewhat of a misnomer. This is the best part of the interview.
Russia Today did a fairly long piece on wikileaks and the Iceland/Norway incident, and it struck me as fairly sympathetic. I wouldn't expect that if Russia had intelligence wikileaks was a CIA front.
I think Madsen got sucked into trying to play cryptome against wikileaks through one of his contacts inside the intelligence community. Obviously wikileaks and cryptome are doing different things, in different ways. Both are "user generated" but wikileaks decides what to publish in a much different way, using different criteria. Cryptome doesn't make any pretense that it isn't selecting what to publish, while wikileaks sort of pretends to be a wikipedia thing, where you enter the sekrit dox on the input page and away it goes to meet the world at large.
If Madsen got sucked into this, I'd bet the Pentagon doc about destroying wikileaks is real. Boom Boom Barry has got to be very sensitive about losing Afghanistan right now, so the Petraeus video and its unveiling should be interesting.
