Most of news media says 'its a classic battle of the righteous individual against the powerful institutions'...but sometime I feel Assange is the Robbinhood of this corrupt media and computer age were everything is fabricated to mislead the common man and make them fight...bt now everybody know that USA does play double games with nations..

Lot of things getting exposed 😆

The legalisation of prostittion was the undoing of Assange 😆 But what timing ! The charges were framed sometime in Aug last year or so . The charges are also quite debatable, men can easily be victimised ! How does any guy prove his innocence in such cases? 😕 Use CCTV in the bedrooms !?

The proponents of freedom of speech are all set to gag Assange ! Exposes the hypocrisy of all the talk about freedom of expression, democracy etc

Pakistani media publish fake WikiLeaks cables attacking India

Comments alleged to be from WikiLeaks US embassy cables say Indian generals are genocidal and New Delhi backs militants
They read like the most extraordinary revelations. Citing the WikiLeaks cables, major Pakistani newspapers this morning carried stories that purported to detail eye-popping American assessments of India's military and civilian leaders.
According to the reports, US diplomats described senior Indian generals as vain, egotistical and genocidal; they said India's government is secretly allied with Hindu fundamentalists; and they claimed Indian spies are covertly supporting Islamist militants in Pakistan's tribal belt and Balochistan.

"Enough evidence of Indian involvement in Waziristan, Balochistan," read the front-page story in the News; an almost identical story appeared in the Urdu-language Jang, Pakistan's bestselling daily.

If accurate, the disclosures would confirm the worst fears of Pakistani nationalist hawks and threaten relations between Washington and New Delhi. But they are not accurate.

An extensive search of the WikiLeaks database by the Guardian by date, name and keyword failed to locate any of the incendiary allegations. It suggests this is the first case of WikiLeaks being exploited for propaganda purposes.

Media may face legal issues for publishing Wikileaks cables

WASHINGTON: The controversy created after the release of hundreds of US secret diplomatic cables have raised many important legal issues about national security and freedom of the press under US law, according to Neil Richards, JD, professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis.

Journalists and government officials have suggested that either WikiLeaks or The New York Times (NYT) might face legal liability for publishing the contents of diplomatic cables and other leaked documents.

"In order to find either WikiLeaks/Julian Assange or the NYT liable, the government would need to prove two things -- first that a law had been broken, and second that enforcement of the law was constitutional under the First Amendment," Richards said.

"In terms of finding a law that has been violated, the question is harder than might appear at first. This is mostly because our tradition of free press makes it hard to punish people for publishing the truth," he added.

Senator Joseph Lieberman and Attorney General Eric Holder have suggested a number of possibilities, including the Espionage Act and state secrets statutes, which punish the disclosure of national security information harmful to the United States.

However Richards said that in terms of the First Amendment, the pressmedia can be punished for the contents of its articles if one of four things are met: the material is false, not newsworthy, illegally obtained, or if there is a state interest of the highest order.

"The first two exceptions aren't relevant here because the WikiLeaks cables are both true and newsworthy. Indeed, this it's is exactly because people want to know the embarrassing truth contained in the cables that the government wants to restrict it," he added.
