Wikileaks diplomatic cables release 'attack on world'

Wikileaks diplomatic cables release 'attack on world'

Collateral Murder

Overview

Update: On July 6, 2010, Private Bradley Manning, a 22 year old intelligence analyst with the United States Army in Baghdad, was charged with disclosing this video (after allegedly speaking to an unfaithful journalist). The whistleblower behind the Pentagon Papers, Daniel Ellsberg, has called Mr. Manning a 'hero'. He is currently imprisoned in Kuwait. The Apache crew and those behind the cover up depicted in the video have yet to be charged. To assist Private Manning, please see bradleymanning.org.
5th April 2010 10:44 EST WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad -- including two Reuters news staff.
Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-sight, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.

WikiLeaks' Collateral Murder: U.S. Soldier Ethan McCord's Eyewitness Story



The military did not reveal how the Reuters staff were killed, and stated that they did not know how the children were injured.
After demands by Reuters, the incident was investigated and the U.S. military concluded that the actions of the soldiers were in accordance with the law of armed conflict and its own "Rules of Engagement".
Consequently, WikiLeaks has released the classified Rules of Engagement for 2006, 2007 and 2008, revealing these rules before, during, and after the killings.
WikiLeaks has released both the original 38 minutes video and a shorter version with an initial analysis. Subtitles have been added to both versions from the radio transmissions.
WikiLeaks obtained this video as well as supporting documents from a number of military whistleblowers. WikiLeaks goes to great lengths to verify the authenticity of the information it receives. We have analyzed the information about this incident from a variety of source material. We have spoken to witnesses and journalists directly involved in the incident.
WikiLeaks wants to ensure that all the leaked information it receives gets the attention it deserves. In this particular case, some of the people killed were journalists that were simply doing their jobs: putting their lives at risk in order to report on war. Iraq is a very dangerous place for journalists: from 2003- 2009, 139 journalists were killed while doing their work.

Gates: Wikileaks 'embarrassing, awkward'


AP – White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs pauses during his daily news briefing at the White House in …


By MATTHEW LEE, Associated Press Matthew Lee, Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The State Department severed its computer files from the government's classified network, officials said Tuesday, as U.S. and world leaders tried to clean up from the embarrassing leak that spilled America's sensitive documents onto screens around the globe.

By temporarily pulling the plug, the U.S. significantly reduced the number of government employees who can read important diplomatic messages. It was an extraordinary hunkering down, prompted by the disclosure of hundreds of thousands of those messages this week by WikiLeaks, the self-styled whistleblower organization.

The documents revealed that the U.S. is still confounded about North Korea's nuclear military ambitions, that Iran is believed to have received advanced missiles capable of targeting Western Europe and — perhaps most damaging to the U.S. — that the State Department asked its diplomats to collect DNA samples and other personal information about foreign leaders.

While the founder of WikiLeaks, , taunted the U.S. from afar on Tuesday, lawyers from across the government were investigating whether it could prosecute him for espionage, a senior defense official said. The official, not authorized to comment publicly, spoke only on condition of anonymity.

State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley sought to reassure the world that U.S. diplomats were not spies, even as he sidestepped questions about why they were asked to provide samples, iris scans, credit card numbers, fingerprints and other deeply personal information about leaders at the United Nations and in foreign capitals.

Diplomats in the Paraguayan capital of Asuncion, for instance, were asked in a secret March 2008 cable to provide "biometric data, to include fingerprints, facial images, iris scans, and DNA" for numerous prominent politicians. They were also asked to send "identities information" on terrorist suspects, including "fingerprints, arrest photos, DNA and iris scans."

In Burundi, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo the requests included information about political, military and intelligence leaders.

"Data should include e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers, fingerprints, facial images, DNA, and iris scans," the cable said.

Every year, the intelligence community asks the State Department for help collecting routine information such as biographical data and other "open source" data. DNA, fingerprint and other information was included in the request because, in some countries,

foreigners must provide that information to the U.S. before entering an embassy or military base, a U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.

The possibility that American diplomats pressed for more than "open source" information has drawn criticism at the U.N. and in other diplomatic circles over whether U.S. information-gathering blurred the line between diplomacy and espionage.

"What worries me is the mixing of diplomatic tasks with downright espionage. You cross a border ... if diplomats are encouraged to gather personal information about some people," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said.

Crowley said a few diplomatic cables don't change the role of U.S. diplomats.

"Our diplomats are diplomats. Our diplomats are not [," he repeatedly told reporters.

"They can collect information. If they collect information that is useful, we share it across the government."

World leaders, meanwhile, were fielding questions about candid U.S. assessments of their countries.

In Kenya, the government was outraged by a leaked cable, published by the German magazine Der Spiegel, in which Kenya is described as a "swamp of flourishing corruption." Kenya's government spokesman called the cable "totally malicious" and said the State Department called to apologize.

In Brazil, officials declined to answer questions about U.S. cables that characterized the South American country as privately cooperative in the war against terrorism, even as it publicly denies terrorist threats domestically.

WikiLeaks has not said how it obtained the documents, but the government's prime suspect is an Army Pfc., , who is being held in a maximum-security military brig on charges of leaking other classified documents to WikiLeaks. Authorities believe Manning defeated Pentagon security systems simply by bringing a homemade music CD to work,

erasing the music, and downloading troves of government secrets onto it.

While world leaders nearly universally condemned the leak, the U.S. and traded barbs from afar. In an online interview with Time magazine from an undisclosed location, Assange called on Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to resign because of the

cables asking diplomats to gather intelligence. "She should resign, if it can be shown that she was responsible for ordering U.S. diplomatic figures to engage in espionage in the United Nations, in violation of the international covenants to which the U.S. has signed up," he said.

Crowley, at the State Department, showed disdain for Assange.

"I believe he has been described as an anarchist," he said. "His actions seem to substantiate that."
Defense Secretary Robert Gates played down the fallout from the leaks, calling them embarrassing and awkward but saying they would not significantly complicate U.S. foreign policy.

"The fact is governments deal with the United States because it's in their interest, not because they like us, not because they trust us and not because they think we can keep secrets," Gates said Monday.
Crowley would not say how long the State Department would keep its files off the classified network.

"We have made some adjustments, and that has narrowed, for the time being, those who have access to across the government," he said.

4. (C) Referring to the Secretary's recent public statements
on settlements, Heusgen said that Germany "perceives this
differently" and thought Netanyahu needed "to do more" in
order bring the Palestinians to the negotiating table. With
Palestinians in East Jerusalem getting notices from Israeli
authorities that their houses will be destroyed, it would be
"suicide" for President Abbas to move under the current
circumstances. Heusgen said he could not fathom why
Netanyahu did not understand this. He suggested pressuring
Netanyahu by linking favorable UNSC treatment of the
Goldstone Report to Israel committing to a complete stop in
settlement activity. Gordon said that making a direct
linkage between the two would almost certainly be
counterproductive, but agreed that it was worth pointing out
to the Israelis that their policy on settlements was making
it difficult for their friends to hold the line in the UNSC.
Heusgen said this certainly would be an issue when Netanyahu
and "half of his cabinet" visit Berlin on November 30 for
bilateral government consultations.
 
Did Washington sabotage WikiLeaks? Website crashes after it suffers 'denial of service attack'

  • Wikileaks website crashes hours before it was due to publish files
  • Claims it suffered a 'denial of service attack'
  • Publishes documents though 'friendly' newspapers across the world
The WikiLeaks website crashed yesterday, just hours before it was due to defy the Obama administration with the publication of thousands of documents that plunged the U.S. government into an international diplomatic crisis.

WikiLeaks said in its Twitter feed that it had experienced a 'denial of service attack', a common method of sabotaging a website by saturating it with external requests.

Wikileaks stopped short of blaming the U.S. government for the cyber attack, but its statement will be seen as clearly pointing the finger of blame a Washington.

However, Wikileaks still managed to publish its incendiary files by handing them to newspapers across the world, including the New York Times, The Guardian in London, El Pais in Spain and Germany's Der Spiegel.

Damage control: L-R David Cameron, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama at the Nato summit in Lisbon on November 19. The new WikiLeaks release is set to put strain on the 'special' relationship

The Obama administration had ordered WikiLeaks not to publish the estimated 3million leaked documents that are set to put 'countless lives' at risk.

In a highly unusual step, the State Department late Saturday released a letter from its top lawyer to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and his attorney telling them that publication of the documents would be illegal and demanding that they stop it.

It is feared that the imminent release of classified State Department cables will threaten global counter-terrorism operations and jeopardise U.S. relations with its allies, including Britain.

The UK government has warned British citizens in Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and other parts of the Muslim world they could suffer a violent backlash over 'anti-Islamic' views in documents.

The documents are said to include an 'embarrassing' assessment of David Cameron by the the U.S. administration.

And Gordon Brown's rocky relationship with President Barack Obama is almost certain to mentioned as is Britain's troop withdrawal from Iraq.

Withering assessments: Gordon Brown is also said to be the subject of secret cables by U.S. diplomats that will be released by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, right

The State Department also said the U.S. government would not cooperate with WikiLeaks in trying to scrub the cables of information that might put sources and methods of intelligence gathering and diplomatic reporting at risk.

The letter from State Department legal adviser Harold Koh was released as U.S. diplomats around the world are scrambling to warn foreign governments about what might be in the secret documents that are believed to contain highly sensitive assessments about world leaders, their policies and America's attempts to lobby them.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is on stand by for diplomatic damage control with the release expected tonight.

Mrs Clinton spoke to leaders in China, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Britain, France and Afghanistan on Friday, according to State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley. Canada, Denmark, Norway and Poland have also been warned.

Last night a source close to Mrs Clinton told The Mail on Sunday: ‘This is enormously embarrassing to the U.S. The CIA have Assange under total surveillance.

Expose: WikiLeaks' posts on its Twitter page showing how the U.S. government, in anticipation of an imminent expose, is briefing its allies on what to expect

‘The idea was that nothing would be news to us. But these latest documents were moved as hard copies, not electronically, so we still don’t know the extent of the leak.’

The U.S. ambassador to London, Louis Susman, has taken the unprecedented step of going to Downing Street to brief officials on what was termed as ‘contingency planning’.

The Foreign Office said last night: ‘We would condemn any unauthorised release of this classified information just as we condemn leaks of classified material in the UK. They can damage national security, are not in the national interest and, as the U.S. has said, may put lives at risk.’The U.S. Embassy in London refused to comment.

Nelson Mandela, the 92-year-old ex-South African President, is among those believed to have been criticised. He condemned George Bush over the Iraq war.

He also called Tony Blair the ‘foreign minister of the United States’ for supporting Mr Bush over Iraq.
Other world leaders who have clashed with the U.S., including Afghanistan’s Hamid Karzai, Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi and Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe, are also said to come off badly in the no-holds-barred private cables to the White House from scores of U.S. embassies.

'HA HA I HIT THEM': THE EXPOSES THAT SHOCKED THE WORLD


Until now WikiLeaks had published two batches of classified files.

The first was about the war in Afghanistan and gave a grim picture of the day-to-day struggle against the Taliban and the frustrations of trying to train the Afghan police.

The second covered the period in the occupation of Iraq between 2004 and 2009 and contained revelations that America failed to investigate hundreds of reports of abuse, rape, torture and murder by Iraqi police and soldiers.

article-1333807-0C3EDAA8000005DC-733_296x216.jpg


The information also revealed that more than 15,000 civilians died in previously unknown incidents - U.S. and UK officials have insisted that no official record of civilian casualties exists but the logs record 66,081 non-combatant deaths out of a total of 109,000 fatalities.

In addition, the logs claim that in one incident a British rifleman shot dead an eight-year-old Iraqi girl as she played in the streets.

Before the June exposes, the whistleblowing service shocked the world with the publication of a video in April showing American soldiers laughing as a helicopter strike kills around a dozen civilians in Baghdad.

In the 17-minute black-and-white footage, pictured above, from an Apache helicopter gunsight, the crew can be heard discussing the carnage as if they were playing a video war game.

One soldier can even be heard shouting: Ha, ha, I hit 'em.' Another says, 'Look at those dead b******s


WHO'S JUILIAN ASSANGE AND WHAT IS HIS WIKILEAKS WEBSITE ABOUT?


WikiLeaks was set up in 2007 by journalist and computer programmer Julian Assange.

The Australian, whose parents met at a protest against the Vietnam War, says he wanted to allow whistleblowers to publish sensitive materials without fear of being identified.

Mr Assange, pictured below at a press conference in July following his first major expose, says his website's complex set-up is designed to ensure that information sent to it becomes anonymous before it is passed on to the web servers..

article-1333807-0A93A26B000005DC-984_296x216.jpg

Its servers are spread all over the world and do not keep logs, so governments cannot trace where the information is being sent and received from Even so, WikiLeaks encourages donors to post the material to them on CDs to its base in Iceland, over encrypted internet connections or from net cafes.

The service, which also runs a network of lawyers to defend its publications and sources, claims that none of its informants have been traced so far.

Adding to this intrigue, Mr Assange's legal team have recently been busy arguing over an international arrest warrant which has been issued for the WikiLeaks boss by Swedish prosecutors over allegations of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion.

The allegations, which the 39-year-old has repeatedly denied, relate to two women he met while on a visit to Sweden in August.

Mr Assange’s London lawyer Mark Stephens, has said the claims were 'false and without basis’.

The documents 'were provided in violation of U.S. law and without regard for the grave consequences of this action,' Mr Koh said.

Simon Hoggart, a journalist on The Guardian - one of the newspapers that has been working with WikiLeaks on the release of the material - said the the paper would be releasing extensive details of the files tomorrow.

'It is going to give the candid American views of world leaders and indeed the reverse too,' he told BBC1's The Andrew Marr Show.

'There is going to be some embarrassment certainly for Gordon Brown but even more so for David Cameron who was not very highly regarded by the Obama administration or by the US ambassador here.'

The series of revelations are expected to begin tonight and be 'drip fed' over the week. They will put a fresh strain on the 'special relationship' between Britain and the U.S.

The State Department said Mr Koh's message was a response to a letter received on Friday by the U.S. ambassador to Britain, Louis Susman, from Assange and his lawyer, Jennifer Robinson.

The department said that letter asked for information 'regarding individuals who may be "at significant risk of harm" because of' the release of the documents.

Criticised: Former South African president Nelson Mandela with president George Bush

'Despite your stated desire to protect those lives, you have done the opposite and endangered the lives of countless individuals,' Mr Koh wrote in reply.

'You have undermined your stated objective by disseminating this material widely, without redaction, and without regard to the security and sanctity of the lives your actions endanger.'

He said the U.S government would not deal with WikiLeaks at all in determining what may or may not released.

'We will not engage in a negotiation regarding the further release or dissemination of illegally obtained U.S. government classified materials.'

Mr Koh is considered to be one of the world's top experts in international law and was reportedly considered for a seat on the Supreme Court.


MYSTERY OF ASSANGE'S 'LIFE INSURANCE' TWEET

WikiLeaks is urging the public to download a mysterious ‘insurance’ file said to contain information to be released if Julian Assange is killed.

In a Twitter post today (pictured below) the whistleblowing service published a link to the Pirate Bay file sharing site with the comment: 'Now is a good time to download some ‘history insurance’.

Expose: Wikileaks reported on its Twitter page that U.S. allies are being warned.

The giant file, nearly 2GB in size, is said to contain thousands of secret U.S. documents aimed at embarrassing the nation’s government, and potentially causing harm to the United States’ relations with allies.

The file has been around since this summer and is heavily encrypted.

In the event of Mr Assange’s death (or some other unspecified reason), the secret key would be released — exposing the documents to all who have downloaded and obtained the key.

It is uncertain why WikiLeaks is now urging users to download the file, but it just may be that they’re planning to release the key soon.

Mr Koh said the U.S. government had been told that The New York Times, the Guardian and Der Spiegel had prior access to them.

Mr Crowley said the release will place 'lives and interests at risk.

'We are all bracing for what may be coming and condemn WikiLeaks for the release of classified material. It will place lives and interests at risk. It is irresponsible.'

Diplomatic cables are internal documents that would include a range of secret communications between U.S. diplomatic outposts and State Department headquarters in Washington.

Typical cables describe summaries of meetings, analysis of events in other countries and records of confidential conversations with officials of other governments and with members of civil society.

The U.S. ambassador to Germany, Philip Murphy, told the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag that it will be difficult to predict the consequences of the leaked documents.

'It will be uncomfortable for my government, for those who are mentioned in our reports, and for me personally as U.S. ambassador to Germany,' he said in an interview published Sunday.

WikiLeaks has said the release will be seven times the size of its October leak of 400,000 Iraq war documents, already the biggest leak in U.S. intelligence history.

The secret cables are believed to be from January 2006 to December 2009 – taking in the latter part of Tony Blair’s Premiership and most of Gordon Brown’s.

Defence insiders say Britain’s national security could be ‘put at risk’ by the revelations, which are understood to include details of the Iraq and Afghan wars plus information about secret service practices and intelligence sources.

The British Government has issued a DA-Notice (defence advisory), warning newspapers that publishing the secrets could compromise national security.

In today's Sunday Times, Air Vice Marshal Andrew Vallance, secretary of the Government's D Notice committee, signalled No 10's fears about the impact the leaks could have on Britons abroad.

He warned of the 'potential consequential effects of disclosing information which would put at risk the safety and security of Britons living or working in volatile regions.'

And a Whitehall source told the paper: 'The concern is that some of the diplomatic conversations may contain certain phrases which might be portrayed as being hand in glove with the Great Satan to attack Islam.

'There is a nervousness that might inflame the hothead.'

WikiLeaks gained notoriety earlier this year when it released secret details of allied military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The revelations of American brutality in Iraq and Afghanistan led to its founder Assange – an Australian-born computer hacker – being attacked by governments around the world. He is now wanted for alleged rape in Sweden.

U.S. sources say the ‘whistleblower’ for the latest leaks was most likely U.S. Army soldier Bradley Manning, the 23-year-old American intelligence analyst arrested in Iraq in June and charged over the earlier WikiLeaks disclosures.

Private First Class Manning, from Oklahoma – who was assigned to a support battalion with the US 10th Mountain Division in Iraq – is being held in custody at the Quantico Marine Barracks in Virginia, US.

He has been charged with ‘transferring classified data on to his personal computer and adding unauthorised software to a classified computer system’ and ‘communicating, transmitting and delivering national defence information to an unauthorised source’.

Manning is believed to have gained the data by hacking into top-secret US intelligence computer systems

Last night Mr Assange refused to comment on the latest revelations.

U.S. intelligence is said to have known for months that WikiLeaks held the damaging secrets contained in the cables. Huge teams of diplomats have been sifting through all cable traffic for the period affected and studying the most damaging revelations.

U guys are merely playing "makidamakida" with BIG BOYZ CIA,
UKifuatilia hizi cables kwa kiasi kikubwa zinaonesha ufanisi wa US diplomats na kuonesha ubabe wa US kwa ku humiliate world leaders ambao kwa namna moja ama nyingine wamekuwa reluctant to obey most of the crucial US foreign policies.

Kumbuka the BIG BOYZ walimlaumu W.BUSH kwa:
-In the first days of his presidency, Bush rejected advice from the CIA to wiretap Russian President Vladimir Putin in February 2001 in Vienna, where he was staying in a hotel where the CIA had a listening device planted in the wall of the presidential suite, in need only of a battery change. The CIA said that if the surveillance were discovered, Putin’s respect for Bush would be heightened.

But Condoleezza Rice, Bush’s national security adviser, advised that it was “too risky, it might be discovered,” Suskind writes. Bush decided against if as “a gut decision” based on what he thought was a friendship based on several conversations, including during the presidential campaign. The CIA had warned him that Putin “was a trained KGB agent … [who] wants you to think he’s your friend.”

By the way, angalia hii.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates played down the fallout from the leaks, calling them embarrassing and awkward but saying they would not significantly complicate U.S. foreign policy. "The fact is governments deal with the United States because it's in their interest, not because they like us, not because they trust us and not because they think we can keep secrets," Gates said Monday.

Hii statement inabidi imalize mjadala.

You're right Keynez,

World leaders are blaming the leakage instead of the content.

Hilary tried to spin the issue. The release of cables is not an attack to the world. It's not an attack at all. It's not an attack even to the US government.

This releases by Wikileaks is safeguarded by the Freedom of Information Act.

These shameful governments have now (mis)used the Interpol to issue an arrest warrant for Julian Assange for the so-called 'rape charges'.
Shame on them.
 
-on a skeptical note, where does Julian get the money to travel n check in hotels plus other expenses such as paying for his legal services etc. i've read he does not use credit cards. he deals with cash. he moves around alot. is he a puppet and there's a master out there bankrolling him?!

-i still think WikiLeaks is for real, too much damage on the US gov to be another conspiracy. Afu eti Fatah and Egypt was aware that Israel is going to strike Gaza and try to get rid of Hamas!! Kweli watu wako after power and nothing else..

-i can't wait for the leaks on Tz yetu considering that Julien amewahi kukaa bongo (source wikipedia).
 
Njama kali za kuifyeka na kukata mizizi ya Wikileaks zinaendelea kwa kasi ya ajabu. Kuna hii habari imechapishwa leo Mashable:

WikiLeaks has been struggling to fend off a DDoS attack ever since it started releasing secret embassy cables, and now it lost one more ally: its DNS services provider, EveryDNS.net.

PayPal Permanently Restricts WikiLeaks Account:-(

The list of organizations banning WikiLeaks is growing; now PayPal has made it clear that the whistleblower website is no longer welcome through its virtual doors.

The move closes the primary online channel for donations to the controversial organization, which has been facing increased pressure from world governments.

“PayPal has permanently restricted the account used by WikiLeaks (Wikileaks) due to a violation of the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity,” the company said in a statement on its blog. “We’ve notified the account holder of this action.”

WikiLeaks has had recent difficulty keeping the donations channels open. Donations through Moneybookers (Moneybookers) was blocked in October after the U.S. and Australia (Australia) put the organization on its watch lists, and earlier this year PayPal suspended the WikiLeaks account temporarily.

WikiLeaks has been attracting a great deal of attention this week after it released 250,000+ sensitive U.S. diplomatic wires. Since then, the company has been under attack from hackers and the U.S. government alike. Amazon recently kicked WikiLeaks off of its servers, as did its DNS service provider.

Yetu macho!
