"In our most heated discussion, I bring together a battle-hardened US conservative intellectual and Europe's most famous conservative philosopher.

Julian Assange’s TV debut

The first episode of Julian Assange's new TV show, The World Tomorrow, premiered on RT today with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as the first guest. Aside from a quick intro and a goofy theme song by M.I.A., it's a pretty spartan affair, consisting solely of Assange and his translators speaking with Nasrallah over skype. The newsiest quote was probably Nasrallah's fairly staunch defense of Bashar al-Assad's crackdown on protesters:

Army Bradley Manning aided al Qaeda with leaks

An Army private aided al Qaeda by leaking hundreds of thousands of military and other government documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, the military said Thursday. Pfc. Bradley Manning had previously been charged with aiding the enemy among a total of 22 counts, but on Thursday the military identified the enemy Manning's actions aided. Manning and his attorneys are appearing at a hearing at a military courtroom at Fort Meade, near Baltimore, for two days of hearings in the case.

The Bright Side of Being Hacked

Hackers operating under the banner Anonymous have been poking a finger in the eye of one private company after another for two years now. They steal files from inside corporate computer systems and occasionally, as in the case of Stratfor last week, dump company e-mail online for all to see. The Stratfor hack, in which Anonymous claimed to have joined forces with WikiLeaks, drove home a clear lesson about the era of ubiquitous "hactivism," or hacking as a form of protest.

E-mails released by WikiLeaks show Dow Chemical spied on activists over industrial accident in India

Documents released this week show that Midland-based Dow Chemical hired a private intelligence company to spy on activists concerned about continued effects of a 1984 gas leak in India that killed thousands. The group WikiLeaks obtained e-mails that show Dow hired a Texas-based company, Stratfor, to monitor environment and human rights advocates concerned with the leak at a plant in Bhopal, India, that killed about 15,000 and is considered the worst industrial accident in history. Union Carbide, which later was bought by Dow, owned and ran the plant.

WikiLeaks earlier this week began publishing what it says are the first of more than five million confidential emails from U.S.-based security think tank Stratfor. Some of the emails released so far, according to WikiLeaks, suggest that Dow Chemical used the firm s services to monitor online activities of groups that campaigned for victims of the Bhopal gas tragedy in 1984.

Stratfor emails reveal problems with Web security

On April 24, 2010, George Friedman, the CEO and founder of Stratfor, an Austin, Texas, company that specializes in writing analyses of international political developments, sent an email from his BlackBerry to one of his employees. It was a response to a suggestion that the company buy email encryption software. He no doubt rues his short missive today. "40k is a lot of money to spend on that obviously," he wrote. "It probably prices the solution out of our means right now."

WikiLeaks’ Stratfor E-Mails Show Unexpected Comedic Flair

At first glance, Stratfor doesn t appear fertile ground for literary flair. The firm, which has been called a "Private CIA," hawks intelligence analysis to government agencies and corporations. According to WikiLeaks, its customers include Dow Chemical, Lockheed Martin, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Marines and the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency. Under these conditions, one might expect gravitas and a no-nonsense style. That, apparently, would be a misconception. (For its part, Stratfor refuses to deny or confirm the authenticity of the leaked e-mails but says that some of them "may be forged or altered to include inaccuracies.")

Wikileaks: Back from the Dead

Wikileaks is back with a vengeance. This week, the famous hacktivist organization reported millions of stolen emails from the international intelligence firm called Stratfor. Wikileaks refuses to release where their sources come from, although not-so coincidentally Stratfor reported an infiltration of their networks by another pro-information company called "Anonymous." Anonymous even tweeted to Stratfor: "y u no encrypt" to blatantly tease the company about the stolen information.

WikiLeaks 2.0 Time to be afraid

Just hours after WikiLeaks started publishing the 5 million emails it says come from the global-intelligence publisher Stratfor, it's becoming clear that this data dump could have a much larger impact than WikiLeaks' earlier publication of thousands of diplomatic cables. Those cables revealed, for the most part, mere gossip and mundane, low-level chatter. But the Stratfor emails could be explosive for companies, governments and individuals around the world, not least for Stratfor itself. Or they might not. At the very least, this batch of data seems far more interesting.

WikiLeaks said Monday that it had begun to expose e-mail correspondence from the global geopolitical analysis firm known as Stratfor, detailing the company's work for clients. WikiLeaks did not disclose how it had obtained the e-mails, but Stratfor acknowledged in December that its data servers had been breached by a group of hackers known as Anonymous. The loose-knit group publicly supports WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks, a Postscript

It s amazing they keep inviting me to these things, since I m a bit of a spoilsport. My consistent answer to the ponderous question of how WikiLeaks transformed our world has been: really, not all that much. It was a hell of a story and a wild collaboration, but it did not herald, as the documentarians yearn to believe, some new digital age of transparency. In fact, if there is a larger point, it is quite the contrary

This Marketing Guru Says A WikiLeaks-Like Entity Will Emerge To Stop Unethical Brands

"My prediction for 2012 is a rise in the importance of ethics. I foresee a kind of WikiLeaks emerging to tackle the maneuvrings of less-ethical brands. The move will come from an independent organization with the sole mission of disclosing what those companies are up to. Most companies will be vulnerable to being targeted, despite having some sort of written standards. You see, in most cases, the small print is far too complex and removed from consumers daily reality. The safety net as designed will hardly save a soul.

WikiLeaks’ favor to diplomacy

It is true that WikiLeaks is a bad word in government circles. But the diplomatic corps came off pretty well in the substance of the disclosures. The cables also suggested that these diplomats were more than passive observers. Sure they had that role as objective liaisons and party hosts, but they clearly were engaged with the people of their host nations. The only problem was all this information was secret. This new openness may be the nature of our times, a wired global community, or perhaps WikiLeaks was a strange liberation. Hundreds of ambassadors and liaisons are engaging in people power. It's risky and dangerous, but citizens around the world are intrigued. Even if these diplomats are a little rude to their hosts.

So it came as a something of a surprise to her to hear that in one of the 250,000-odd State Department cables released by the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, she was deemed a source so sensitive U.S. officials were advised not to repeat her name.

A State Department cable obtained by WikiLeaks quotes the U.N. investigator of extrajudicial killings as saying an autopsy showed the residents of the house had been handcuffed and shot in the head, including children under the age of 5. McClatchy obtained the photo from a resident when the incident occurred.

Influence Game: India, Pakistan vie for US backing

Rep. Dan Burton criticized the White House last September for ignoring the persistent violence and unrest in the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir. Barack Obama, he noted, pledged during the 2008 presidential campaign to defuse what long has been a flashpoint between Pakistan and India, nuclear-armed neighbors that each claim Kashmir as their own. "So far, this is a promise unfulfilled," Burton, R-Ind., said.

What the WikiLeaks Diplomatic Cables Reveal About Haiti

US administrations may change, but US interests don't. A recent leak of 1,918 WikiLeaks cables related to Haiti reveals the known - but rarely acknowledged - corrupt US dealings with Haiti. Despite a distracting veneer of red cross assistance and earthquake relief volunteers, it seems that a new cold war is developing, this time between the north and south of the western hemisphere.

American forces in Japan: Another lost year

LESS than a month after a new government took office in Japan in September 2009, American officials talked their Japanese counterparts through a longstanding frustration: stalled plans to build a new airbase for American marines on the southern island of Okinawa. According to confidential minutes of the meeting sent to Washington, DC by the American embassy in Tokyo, leaked by WikiLeaks, Kurt Campbell, an assistant secretary of state, said a new airstrip was necessary because of China s growing military strength. But that could not be discussed publicly, 'for obvious reasons'.
