I'm not for a second suggesting that any of the leaks are false but does anyone find Julian Assange to be a "shady" individual?

It's all pretty mundane stuff really. Spy agency has the technological ability to spy on people. Most of the stuff is based of publicly available tools as well.

Stuff like stuxnet is shocking. The way it was designed and implemented is amazing.
The fact that someone built malware that can infect android devices isn't shocking at all.

Stuxnet is some Cylon kit right enough.

Not in the slightest no.

Also, Wikileaks releasing specific information from one side should cause people to be suspicious. They are targeting the US democratic system. It's foolish to pretend they're not.

Oh yes, very very foolish.

Lol, well if Assange says so, I guess we should all just take his word for it...

...or we could just take the word of some anonymous person such as yourself. Erm, don't this so.

Everything he said in that clip is verifiable by simply going to the wikiLeaks website.

Your argument is a bit irrelevant anyway because it's not about sides or at least not the sides your talking about.

The important sides are the citizens on the one hand and the government(s) doing the surveillance on the other. Not state vs state. And lets not forget they can only report on the spying that is actually taking place unless you think they should just make things up about other states for the sake of balance.

Even if WikiLeaks only reported the actives of the USA which you are wrongly suggesting that would still be better than nothing at all.

Biased is one thing deaf ,dumb ,blind to the rest of the world is saying something.

Assange ego is taking up galaxies of space

Fair play to that minister. Makes for a nice change from our spineless crew who trip over themselves to give any American a reach around:

Psst, Wikileaks exists because of anonymous people.

The owner of Wikileaks says he doesn't have a bias and you can prove that by going to his site? Think about that.

Assange is state sponsored. He IS a government source. That's the point I'm trying to get across. He's not a hero of the people. He's telling you want you want to hear, so you don't question him. That's exactly what politicians do every day. Why don't you believe them all the time?

He has a definite bias and an agenda that's clear to see. Christ, even Farage was in meeting with him this week. He is not your friend. He's as much an enemy of the people as the CIA.

Even if WikiLeaks only reported the actives of the USA which you are wrongly suggesting that would still be better than nothing at all.

No, it very much wouldn't be. Would you happily say the same if the CIA revealed all of Russia's activities?

I reckon that even after all this got leaked, what they really can do would be more shocking.

Tip of the iceberg stuff.

Ive read that we can expect new drops every 7 days, fitting in with the 7 theme. Tuesdays just become a whole lot more interesting!

If you are disputing that. You need to show us.

I'm getting the feeling that as Wikileaks becomes more well known, more people like yourself think they're a hacker group or they somehow get materials themselves.

Maybe people are getting confused between then and "Anonymous".
