| Julian Assange Threatens To Name Arab Leaders With CIA Ties |
| 2010-12-31 |
| Julian Assange has set the ultimate dead man's switch: Arrest or kill him and thousands of files will be automatically released, including documents that out CIA-backed Arabs. The Wikileaks leader had previously claimed to have files on auto-release. That he had info on CIA ties was first-mentioned in an interview yesterday with Al-Jazeera. This is exactly the type of information that lead people to condemn Wikileaks as dangerous. If released it would certainly endanger many American operatives and cause a massive political disruption. |

| #18 And he could be bluffing. And I'll bet the Arab leaders with the CIA ties would outnumber those who don't. And I'll bet those who don't have CIA ties the world would be better off without. |

| #17 Is anybody thinking of this as a bug? Seems like a feature to me. |

| #16 I was not aware he had 'high-side' access. That really does take it to a new level. |

| #15 @Besoeker - First off he alos apparently had access to JWICS (google it, c.f. Wikipedia), not just SIPR. SO there was Top Secret access for the littke futt-bucking traitor. I usually do dismiss that sort of reasoning as "conspiracy theory". But in this case, it may not be. Think about "Sources and Methods"; those things (especially sensitive HUMINT sources) are usually far more protected than the intelligence they produce. It is common intelligence doctrine of any department or nation, to scrub intelligence first of sources and methods before being released. This is even in the highest classifications and across compartmented access areas. It goes back to WW2 and the "Ultra" decrypts against Enigma, and other similar things (Japanese naval codes as well). I would say a politically motivated CIA or State Department stooge could have leaked such things. Its not beyond reason, especially when given the history of the sieve-like quality of those places during the Bush administration, when it came to politically charged and damaging leaks. |

| #14 Julian Assange Threatens To Name Arab Leaders With CIA Ties He didn't get any of that information off of SIPRNET from his little bum buggering Army buddy. Call me a "conspiracy theorist" but I believe this fellow may have other, well placed sources. |

| #13 Oh no! We might have to start addressing the terrorist problem directly! |

| #12 The leaks are destroying democracies and reinforcing tyrants (c.f. Zimbabwe). Look for even more Arab radicals and Islamic radical fundamentalists (or else the military in prevention of such) to topple these people. Assange and those who support him as a "paragon of peace" are idiots, who should be demolished before they cause even more deaths. |

| #11 1) He believes exposing secrets is good. and 2) The secrets will be exposed if he is killed. therefore: He believes that being murdered would be a GOOD thing. Assange == Martyr??? |

| #10 If he has it, it is already released or should be treated as such. |

| #9 Power certainly went to his head quickly, didn't it? He expects to rule the world next, eh? |

| #8 Hmmm...Let's review Assange's current situation: (1) Currently hanging out in the UK, which has... (2) A rather large population of Arabs and similar ethnics, at least some of whom can be presumed to be... (3) Agents working for the governments of their home countries. Therefore, a certain rat-faced albino better start worrying about... (4) Being given a one-lesson course in swimming at the bottom of Loch Ness. |

| #7 Maybe we could pay Putin to whack him. |

| #6 Well, gee whiz, that would be - all of 'em? |

| #5 This flit is quickly becoming what he fears the most. Old news... |

| #4 I say we whack him and find out if he is lying. |

| #3 Didn't he threaten to release a crapload of documents earlier this month if the Brits arrested him on the Swedish warrants? I distinctly remember hearing that he had all kinds of stuff on major corporations back then. IIRC, nothing was released then. Or after he got bailed out so he could chase British chix like Benny Hill around some aristocrat's estate to the tune of Enrique Iglesias' latest audio turd, for that matter. I'm thinking a certain poster's fave albino rat-faced |

| #2 Arab leaders with CIA ties? That would probably include all of them. The CIA have long been quick with a hand out, understanding that "La Mordida" is humanities lubricant. "El dinero hace que el mundo circunda." |

| #1 He's just given [fill here] an extra good reason to whack him. |
