This story keeps getting bigger here in the U.S. I just thought I would start a thread and get peoples reactions to some of the information coming out. I don't see a lot of surprises yet but there will probably be some political fallout, some blaming, and some demonizing of Julian Assange as we've already seen.
I think this is a good thing as long as Wikileaks continue to publish all verifiable information that is leaked to them. It is the free market version of regulation. This information will allow people to make better choices as it pertains to elections and which companies to support. What is even better is that politicians from the left and right seem to be scared shitless of these leaks. The idea of scared politicians brings a smile to my face.
Here's a pretty good interview of Assange by Forbes magazine: An Interview With WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange - Andy Greenberg - The Firewall - Forbes
