This thread is a doozy. Posts 373 and 374 from Jan and Ed above illustrate just how personally awkward this and similar issues can be. They are an object lesson in how to deal with such awkwardness in IMHO.
I read that Engdahl article yesterday on GS and agree; it makes for both uncomfortable and enlightening reading - induced cognitive dissonance I think is the approximate psycho term. I too keep all of Jan's possibilities on Assange open too
BTW - for info, I have now got a working mirror of the entire Wilileaks site up and running on Wikispooks: WikiSpooks Wikileaks mirror. That's well over 500 working mirrors now!
I was uncomfortable about using their form and giving WikiLeaks techies access to my server so I had to mount a DIY effort which was a bit of a struggle. I will refresh it to the latest release version this morning. Also, I intend altering the home page so that I can quickly point the various sections (Cablegate, Afghan Diaries, Iraq, collateral Murder etc), at the mirrors/archives of my choosing.
On a slightly ominous note, when I came to log on this morning I found the database server had crashed or at least was not running. It's NEVER done that before. There has been massive activity recorded in the logs but too soon to say if it was malicious yet.
