I think Gary's half-right. On the one hand, I don't think there have been any bombshells; very little that anyone on this list wouldn't have already known, or suspected was possible, from reading the alternative media and being informed by friends on lists like this about things we missed on our own in that media. On the other hand: what's new is that all of that is now in the mainstream media, which finds it hard to ignore. And the huge scale on which Wikileaks is publishing these, and the support they're getting, scares the shit out of the world's rulers. Not that they won't find a way to get past it, barring some organized way to take advantage of this opening (any ideas on that?). By the way -- has anyone yet made the parallel to Trotsky's publishing of the Allies' secret diplomatic treaties? In the meantime, defend Julian Assange and Brian Manning! Andy P.
