The Definitive Guantanamo Prisoner List Updated for 2011, With New Information and Photos from WikiLeaks

Since I began my quest to discover the stories of the Guant namo prisoners, and to bring those stories to the world, which I first embarked upon over five years ago, I have endeavoured to make that information as accessible as possible. A major step in achieving this took place in March 2009, when I first produced my four-part Definitive Guant namo Prisoner List, providing the names and nationalities of all 779 prisoners, and, in over 90 percent of those cases, links to my own articles about Guant namo (around 300 at that point), providing more information about them, or references for where their stories appear in my book The Guant namo Files or in 12 additional online chapters.

Wikileaks Cable Confirms North American Union Agenda

A newly leaked U.S. diplomatic cable originally written over six years ago confirms that the agenda to merge the United States, Canada and Mexico into an integrated North American Union has been ongoing for years, debunking claims made consistently by the corporate media and establishment talking heads that the NAU is a baseless 'conspiracy theory'.

Memorial Day in America: What the US Government Wants Americans to Remember vs. What WikiLeaks Thinks Should Be Remembered

WikiLeaks has released military reports from both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. What those sets of documents reveal along with the contents of the few thousand US State Embassy cables released indicates there is a reality that society and government would like to suppress.

WikiLeaks, Pakistan and the Ghost of Vietnam

What's said about sausage and journalism must also be true of foreign policy: that if you knew how it was produced, you wouldn't want to consume it. I'm certainly disgusted and alarmed to learn from WikiLeaks via Dawn.com that U.S. special operations forces deployed secretly on joint operations with Pakistani troops as early as 2009, but I'm not surprised. Are you?

PBS Chat Raises More Questions About Production of ‘WikiSecrets’

Whether Manning could have a fair trial now that the Commander-in-Chief has told his subordinates he thinks Manning is guilty is doubtful. A military officer would be risking his career if he or she handed down a decision that did not meet the approval of the Obama Administration. Gaviria/Smith are seemingly oblivious to this when they type their answer.

Anyone familiar with the stories of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, the organization s founder and Pfc. Bradley Manning, the alleged whistleblower to WikiLeaks, would be forgiven for wondering whether PBS Frontline s documentary 'WikiSecrets' presents anything new or not. The documentary attempts to make a sensational connection between Manning and Assange and suggest that Assange might know Manning is the source of the information.

One Year Ago: The Unmaking of Bradley Manning

On February 18, 2010, WikiLeaks posted on its Web site a U.S. State Department diplomatic cable dated January 13, 2010, from the embassy in Reykjavik, Iceland. It was an intriguing, if not earthshaking, document that would later earn the tag "Reykjavik13." In the cable, the U.S. deputy chief of mission, Sam Watson, described private talks with Icelandic leaders over a referendum on whether to repay losses from a bank failure, with the real possibility that Iceland could default in 2011

Those that have regularly scrutinized WikiLeaks, who have typically gone along with any meme in the media that shines a light on the organization s imperfections, took the posting of this agreement as an opportunity to focus on how this showed complete hypocrisy.

Journalism vs. WikiLeaks

David Corn has a piece today about a Pakistani businessman who owns several pharmacies in New York City and has been fingered by a Guantanamo detainee as a "possible al-Qaida anthrax operative." So is he? Nobody knows. Maybe the Gitmo detainee was just making stuff up. Maybe it's already been exhaustively investigated and the guy has been cleared. Or maybe he really did have al-Qaeda ties at one time. The Pakistani guy can't be reached, and there's no evidence one way or the other about this aside from the detainee report, so it's impossible to say.

Decision to Not Release bin Laden Death Photos Rests on Same Dubious Logic Used Against WikiLeaks

I view everything surrounding the killing of bin Laden to be necessary to deciding whether to release the photos or not. In that sense, President Obama s good decision to not give a speech at Ground Zero in New York yesterday should help inform the debate. What he did by not giving a speech was what someone like former President George W. Bush would not have had the courage to do: he chose, in that moment, to not exploit 9/11 and use it to further advance the national security agenda of America.

UK Commons debate on Bradley Manning

The opening argument of MP Ann Clwyd (Labour - Cynon Valley) is notable for emphasizing that Bradley Manning's citizenship is not the sole reason a government of laws should be concerned about his treatment. She had earlier raised the interpretation of the British Nationality Act with the foreign minister in committee and in the Commons, but in this address, she reminds the government of its commitment to speak out against human-rights abuses everywhere, regardless of the victim's nationality.

US withholding key documents

The US government has reacted strongly to Bradley Manning's alleged disclosure of recent diplomatic cables via WikiLeaks. We have heard State Department officials make their good case that indiscriminate leaks of contemporary communications - however much they contribute to public understanding of foreign policy - can undermine diplomacy and endanger human lives.
