Article in BBC 8-Dec-2010 that says Australia realizes that Assange did not release diplomatic cables to begin with--he merely published them after he had been given them by someone who had access to them.

Any my question is and has been along how did an Army PRIVATE [an entry level position into the US Army] have access to so-called confidential information from the US Secretary of State's office? That would not normally happen as a PFC would have no need to know the internal mechanisms of top brass. So if since H Clinton is trying to lay the blame on PFC Manning who is currently in prison, is the US public to believe that the entire prison population of the world also has access to top level "confidential secrets" of the US? And my other question is, is being catty and mean about other leaders' potentials, and spying to collect DNA [surely an invasion of anyone's privacy] and credit card,bank card,loyalty program cards truly the intended purpose of the US Secretary of States's office? IF so,the nation should immediately do away with that position. Downsize it out of existence for the sake of the nation and peace on earth.

and leaving original entry as relevant to the issues:
I am posting excerpts here of/about three articles in the news today about the US government's attack against wikileaks a publisher. Those attacks are also against the First Amendment liberties of a free unregulated,uncontrolled by government Press.
I think the facts speak for themselves. The Obama administration is absolutely destroying the concept of a free Press. When they attack to take down content that is not illegal but embarrassing to them and shows the lack of caliber of the Secretary of State in running her department [how could she? she is out seeing the world on the taxpayers' dime too miuch of the time]; they by deed show they have no committment to
an honest or open government and show that they are trying to suppress/usurp civil
liberties .
And these articles show that U S financial institutions are in US government control
and give a person their money at the whim of the government. That is one reason
when this country was founded,the founders voted against a centralized bank as the
Federal Reserve has become because it put the earnings of the citizens' into the hands of government. The excerpt about MasterCard and Paypal prove that as they withheld the money intended for wikileaks when Julian Assange has not been charged with any crime in the US,nor had a chance to face his accusers in a court of law,nor
founf guilty of any crime,but merely because H Clinton/B Obama said to stop his money in yet another attempt to bring him down offline.
US government getting real time info on citizens using credit cards,loyalty
programs,cell phones of transactions as they occur without any court order
to collect such info and without 'probable cause':

More on how they use that info,with quote from article in Wired again,
as written 'In the past week, after publishing secret U.S. diplomatic cables,
secret-spilling site WikiLeaks has been hit with denial-of-service attacks
on its servers by unknown parties; its backup hosting provider, Amazon,
booted WikiLeaks off its hosting service; and PayPal has suspended its
donation-collecting account, damaging WikiLeaks’ ability to raise funds.
MasterCard announced Monday it was blocking credit card payments to
WikiLeaks, saying the site was engaged in
illegal activities, despite the fact it has never been charged with a crime."

And I know Twitter is censoring anyone who writes about wikileaks because I
did on my twitter account [twitter.com/gloriapoole], and they blocked me from writing anything after that
[ I could log in and tweet-box appeared but words when typed did not appear
there] until I wrote about it in another place that they were censoring me
for writing about wikileaks * And now I know others are also
aware that twitter censors with prior restraint. Read article @
http://mashable.com/2010/12/06/wikileaks-twitter-censorship/
Begin with these quotes from the article that asserts that twitter is
indeed censoring any tweets about wikileaks:
"This is not the first time Twitter has been accused of keeping certain hashtags out of Trending Topics.
Last week, student protestors at University College London (UCL) complained that the microblogging
service was keeping the hashtag #demo2010 off the list,
and that Twitter even went so far as to make their accounts unavailable.
Twitter likewise denied the allegations.
As a side note, Twitter’s communications team has repeatedly dodged questions about whether
it will continue to allow the @WikiLeaks account to run on the service after EveryDNS.net,
Amazon.com and PayPal terminated their service contracts with the organization,
citing illegal activity."[end quote]
