Revenge is a dish served best cold



Assange just pulled the deadman switch, and a lot of Wikileaks are now on the web.

most of them are about old news, but hey, whatever.


update: The links I posted are old, identical to the files on the wayback machine site.

But excuse me if I am amused, because a lot of stuff that was leaked in the past revealed shennanigans or faux pas that made people mad (e.g. the US Ambassador noted most US tourists to the Philippines were looking for sex. Well, duh).

But a lot of the problem is the failure of the US Government to take hacking seriously.

For example, Obama hid the fact that China hacked my OPM federal personnel file,

An Hillary saw no reason to worry if sensitive information could be hakced from her unsecured server, or carried and placed on Anthony Weiner's computer, even though he surfed porn sites that hack you all the time.

A lot of the reason the gov't wants to get Assange is about leaking "secrets" which are often rumors and can be spun as propaganda.

But the big reason the Democrats hate him now is about leaking that Hillary's dirty tricks stole the primaries from Bernie. Yet, as Rush pointed out, that wasn't "leaked" but was hacked because Podesta answered a phishing email.
