Chrisbenogor: Ok where do I start from, first of all I know the US would come up with something tricky to charge Assange with but my guess is its going to be so weak that they would sound like the Burmese goverment trying to charge a freedom of speech fighter and here is why.
The United States probably shot itself in the foot already by advocating freedom of information around the world, so fighting Assange now would really make them first class hypocrites, this guy is not with a gun or did not blow people up, he only published what certain people said and not necessarily united states policy, it is the thoughts of individuals and thats all it is, only a silly government would come up to cry foul because in truth they all have dirty secrets which is why no one has come out to condemn the US officals -so far. Now the only way they can charge Assange is under the espionage act which was enacted a little too early and just before the age on computers and the internet, no way those guys would have seen this coming, coupled with the First Amendment by the supreme court it makes the case really dicey and again here is why.
The prosecution also has to get around the fact that the cables reveal confidential information surrounding foreign policy and diplomacy, rather than military secrets. They would have to prove that the cables are a threat to national security- this a colossal burden of proof, which could mean disclosing more classified information to a jury in order to demonstrate the danger. Even if they were to manage all this there is the problem of getting Julian extradicted, most countries' extradition treaties do not cover crimes viewed as political and this certainly almost falls into that category.
Moving on to the after effects of what chasing Assange around the world could do which is make him some sort of internet God, if he enjoys the status bin laden does for the islamic entities then the world should be preparing for a cyber war which could cost billions of dollars, for instance a 16 year has been arrested in holland for being part of the group that brought down master card and visa "Anonymous" he will face charges as a minor but damage done would not be worth it. In my opinion leave the dude alone and resort to espionage to bring him down simple, the way they fight terrorism, just fight him like that and slowly bring his operations to a halt instead of making a martyr out of him.
Releasing the cables were reckless and irresponsible true, but the actions of some diplomats as revealed by the cable are nothing to write home about either. Plus the revelations about the Nigerian government is an advantage for a country like ours where these freedom is no where to be found.
My verdict - leave the dude alone, the only thing people can really do is be surprised for a while and we will surely move on. All these talks sef. Wikileaks has released less than 3% of its documents and you say we would move on, if they release everything the worlds view of the world would change forever. Quote Me |

"Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war," proclaimed William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. With what appears to be a small-scale cyberwar between supporters and opponents of WikiLeaks, not to mention the increasingly looming threat of the mysterious "insurance.aes256" file, this news story is rapidly becoming the stuff of legend.
First came the wave of distributed denial-of-server (DDOS) assaults on the main WikiLeaks site, apparently emerging from one man, a self-described "hacktivist" and "ex-soldier" hacker, "TH3J35T3R" (The Jester), who made a name for himself in 2009 by attacking Islamist websites and who considers Julian Assange and company as supporters of terrorism. Then came the withdrawals of support, in particular by the hosting services of Amazon and EveryDNS and the online money services PayPal and PostFinance.
But WikiLeaks hasn't been on its own, and an equally massive counterattack is in the offing. There has arisen over Twitter a groundswell of online support in both very peaceful and very destructive ways. On the one hand, there have been the #imwikileaks and #imassange trends, the Twitter equivalent of a sit-in, but the likes of which have not been seen since the postelection troubles in Iran during the summer of 2009 (there is speculation that Twitter is censoring all WikiLeaks-related trends, which the company denies. This is to say nothing of the virus-like duplication of the WikiLeaks site itself, with as many as 507 mirror sites.
On the other hand, though, Operation Payback, a hacktivist wing of the secretive Anonymous meme-movement, began launching its own wave of DDOS assaults against PayPal and PostFinance. Rumors have it that the Jester has also been "taken out," electronically speaking, as his Twitter has fallen silent. And then early this week there emerged the threat from Assange himself that he would reveal the password for insurance.aes256 -- the contents of which his lawyers says would be the informational equivalent of a "thermo-nuclear device."
I've previously blogged about what may or may not be in this file. Although I initially hypothesized that it could actually be a bluff, the more I think about it, the less likely it seems to be that the file contains nothing. Besides myself, the Jester himself has taken a whack at the file, even releasing his own sarcastic version of it, "gap-insurance.aes256." Yet, so far he's been quiet about what he specifically believes is in there.
Meanwhile, "The Sunday Times"' experts believe that it contains the entirety of WikiLeaks' archive, including unpublished papers on Guantanamo Bay, British Petroleum, and the Bank of America. Yet, the likely scale of this in terms of final decrypted and unpacked file size seems unlikely when we consider the 1.4GB size of the current file -- unless, of course, there's been some pretty serious compression done to it, which is possible.
For now, though, I feel that the more likely assessment comes from "The Guardian," which believes the file contains "more than 200,000" unredacted diplomatic cables that can be accessed only by using a 256-digit code. This matches some of my own suspicions.
Finally, the other likely possibility is simply that it might be an unredacted version of the "megaleaks" that have already been released. If so, that would be the height of recklessness and irresponsibility on their part -- but considering some of their recent revelations about U.S. security strategy, which seem more about crying "Havoc!" than about transparency, I wouldn't put that past them at the moment.
UPDATE: I attributed to The Jester a DDoS attack rather than a DoS attack. This was due to the fact that it seemed very much as though he had multiple servers at his disposal. Actually, he was using something called XerXes.

http://wikileaks.info/http://www.wikileaks.no/tag/EPET_0.htmlhttp://www.wikileaks.no/origin/111_0.htmlhttp://www.wikileaks.no/cable/2009/04/09ABUJA671.html  WHERE DOES NIGERIA GO FROM HERE? -------------------------------- ¶14. (C) [b]It is possible that Nigeria could be a future Pakistan according to A/S Carson. In 25 years, there could be impoverished masses, a wealthy elite and radicalism in the North. [/b]The question is whether the oil wells will be dry as well and could Nigeria be on “sustainable and irreversible glide path to a new economic base” per the A/S. When you look at the 2020/20 plan by the GON you see that Nigeria needs to grow by 14 percent a year to LAGOS 00000075 004 OF 005 be at the current level of Indonesia Fawthrop asserted. That is using today’s figures, which does not take into account Indonesia’s growth Kramer added. Nigeria is growing at five percent now and would need 20 percent growth per annum in energy and USD 22 billion investment in power plants Fawthrop stated. What would happen if Nigeria fell just short of their goals, would there be an alternative plan in place Fawthrop wondered? He cited the example of the 2009 6,000 Megawatt goal. It was apparent early on that the goal was not feasible and an alternative plan could have been devised. The GON insisted that they would reach their goal and did not develop alternatives. The same would hold true for 2020/20 Fawthrop assumed. ¶15. (C) The A/S offered that a forum could be organized in Nigeria with World Bank President Robert Zoellick speaking to a wide audience. Under Secretary for Economic, Energy, and Agricultural Affairs Bob Hormats would be invited as well to lend his knowledge of Africa. The forum would be shaped with the broader picture in mind, not just oil. This would not be sponsored by the IOCs. Members of the business community and individuals that were committed to making oil meaningful to Nigeria’s future would be asked to participate. Talk would center on “over the horizon” issues, where Nigeria has gone right and where it has gone wrong. Two or three fora would be defined with key people to spark debate. Religious tensions, North-South issues, the lack of capacity in the GON, narco-trafficking, the growing irrelevance of Nigeria, as Princeton Lyman has suggested, could be potential subjects. Nigeria is at a critical financial and political threshold and the entire nation could possibly tip backwards permanently, per A/S Carson. --------------------------------------- CHINESE - AMERICAN RELATIONS IN AFRICA --------------------------------------- ¶16. (C) What is the status of America’s influence in Africa and how does it compare to China, Fawthrop queried? The influence of the United States has increased in Africa, the A/S countered. The United States’ reputation is stable and its popularity is the highest in Africa compared to anywhere else in the world. Obama has helped to increase that influence. “We must manage the expectations of the Obama administration” offered the A/S. The United States does not consider China a military, security or intelligence threat. China is a very aggressive and pernicious economic competitor with no morals. China is not in Africa for altruistic reasons. China is in Africa for China primarily. A secondary reason for China’s presence is to secure votes in the United Nations from African countries. A third reason is to prove that Taiwan is not an issue. There are trip wires for the United States when it comes to China. Is China developing a blue water navy? Have they signed military base agreements? Are they training armies? Have they developed intelligence operations? Once these areas start developing then the United States will start worrying. The United States will continue to push democracy and capitalism while Chinese authoritarian capitalism is politically challenging. The Chinese are dealing with the Mugabe’s and Bashir’s of the world, which is a contrarian political model, A/S Carson stated. ------- COMMENT ------- ¶17. (C) A/S Carson effectively provided the IOCs with a rationale for the United States’ interest in Nigeria and its commitment to the country. This commitment seems more substantial than the IOCs given the prospect of the PIB and the current state of play in Nigeria. Providing the IOCs with statements of support through continuing if not increasing the USG presence in Nigeria will be important in determining the increasing, decreasing or non-existent role of the IOCs in the future in Nigeria. As the A/S stated, if we can have a substantial presence in Pakistan, why not Nigeria? END COMMENT. LAGOS 00000075 005 OF 005 ¶18. (U) A/S Carson did not have an opportunity to clear this cable before departing post.

Sanders, Ambassador, STATE, EXEC; REASON: 1.4(A), (B), (D) ------- SUMMARY ------- ¶1. (C) Ambassador met February 26 with Acting President (AgP) Dr. Goodluck Jonathan at the Vice President’s official residence, Aguda House, in Abuja to review the current political situation following the return earlier this week of ailing President Yar’Adua. Moves are afoot, between Jonathan and key northerners in the lead such as former Head of State Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, to encourage the Yar’Adua family to let go and let the President resign with dignity. This will allow Jonathan to serve as interim President until elections and also allow him to designate a vice president. Given the dysfunctional level of the current Cabinet, Jonathan said that once this happens, he will dissolve the cabinet, after consulting with the Council of State. Both moves, he believes, will appease Northern politicians, as he suspects that more northerners will support the resignation idea. Jonathan claims he wants to do a good job over the next 12 months, and leave a legacy of credible elections, electoral reform, including replacing the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) chairman and all of the commissioners. He promised the Ambassador that he would look at her suggestion of using terminal leave for the INEC chairman, which could have him out earlier than June. The Acting President also agreed to allow U.S.-UK technical assistance to help improve the voter registry and provide for a parallel vote tabulation. He expects things to calm down in the next 10-14 days, will not leave the country until things are resolved, and has opened channels with the military. Chief of Army Staff (COAS) was leaving Jonathan’s private office when Ambassador was entering. End Summary.
