Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2000 Las sociedades industriales aprendieron, en el curso de décadas, que los intereses privados no pueden ser usados para salvaguardar el interés público cuando entran en conflicto con sus propios intereses.

L'infrastructure est maintenant sapée pas seulement de l'extérieur, mais du gouvernement même.

Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2009 On the issue of free speech most of the right and much of the left are in agreement, and so too are many liberals, activists, and human rights apparatchiks. They hold essentially the same position on freedom of expression # they are for it #in principle#, but only so long as it isn#t used to express views that they find unacceptable or offensive. What they disagree about is merely who gets to decide what ideas are unacceptable, i.e., who gets to censor who.

- Forte, Maximillian C.: A War on Wikileaks?
Unhinged at the US State Department and Pentagon Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2010 If the state fails to make any sense#not surprising#it is because it is has no intention of doing so. The state is appealing to something more visceral with all of this posturing: fear. It wants to strike fear into the minds and bodies of people working with Wikileaks, or anyone else doing such work, and anyone contemplating leaking any classified records. Fear is its greatest weapon of psychological destruction, with proven success at home. And in this case, the danger lies at home. The outcome the state hopes for is greater self-censorship and greater self-monitoring.

The Vile Campaign Against Julian Assange and Wikileaks Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2010 WikiLeaks is under concerted attack from the US government. Also under attack by the US government is the whole idea of freedom of thought and of information. It needs to be clearly understood that the attacks on WikiLeaks by the US government -- attacks which have included heavy pressure on companies like Paypal, Amazon Books, Visa and Mastercard, all of which have closed their accounts with the organization, making it difficult if not impossible for Assange and his team to raise money, and on internet servers, making it harder for WikiLeaks to stay online -- could as easily be used against news organizations and political organizations.
