Who cares. A Nazi uniform could be seen as a fun costume. Its not like people are buying them and wearing them in anti Semite rallies across Japan. Lighten up already. People dress up as all kinds of things at costume parties. If I saw a guy dressed as an SS Nazi or Hitler at a costume party, I would take the joke instead of feeling all offended.

Bollocks! The Koreans smashed the Japanese back in the late 1500`s.
WIKI: Panokseons and the Korean navy were most widely used during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598) when Admiral Yi Sun-sin's brilliant strategy defeated Japanese fleets. Admiral Yi also developed the turtle ship upon an older design. Turtle ships are celebrated in Korea as the first ironclad warship in the world

In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble.

what's pathetic about this response is the cowardice in facing truth and consequences backed up by the willingness to participate and spread ignorance, fear, and corruption.
**Also in London, protests disrupted the visit of Sri Lanka's president amid mounting outrage over allegations published by WikiLeaks that he was directly involved in the massacre of thousands of civilians at the end of that country's civil war.
Peter Lloyd reports.
(Protestors with Tamil flags shout)
PETER LLOYD, REPORTER: Hundreds of British Tamils took to the streets outside a London hotel where Sri Lanka's president is staying.**
Please go on to tell me how this is bad and evil?

sadly I agree. You can also notice by some of the posts above that many people are already behaving like trained seals. Their default reasoning is no longer to question but to comply. They think they are free but they are slaves to the banks and their debt based money system. A system initially rejected as a control mechanism from Europe that US presidents and many more were killed for some 200 years back.
Maybe the dirt Assange has is an orchestrated financial crises (been done many times before by US and European banks) to suit the agenda of the ruling elite.

Ask the banking executives that flooded the world with bad loans and leant out much much more than what they had on their balance sheets in terms of actual assets was good for the good ol' American peoples wallets.
Yet they still exist and enjoy billions in payments from the GOV to bail them out. The US GOV who borrows from the banks to pay the banks and then uses your tax dollars to pay back the loan. The tax dollars of those who have lost their jobs and homes.
I for one would be glad to see their filthy, rotten, laundry hung up all over the world. It should lead to some kind of deep change and if that is at the expense of the system that propelled it, then its only fitting.

The UN has really shown no backbone over this issue but every diplomat there will never trust the handshake of an American again.

This is information that is vital to people choosing and voting via informed decisions. Important negotiations are for the people to decide that that is what their Government should be doing.
In the meantime if the same government is harbouring a bunch of dirty secrets behind a tsunami of brainwash and propaganda then it is the people who are armed with information who can decide to make the world a better place by standing against those responsible for wars, greed, corruption and other atrocities at democratic ballots.
so what do these documents bring to the world? Well maybe Assange just proved that the Sun does not revolve around the Earth and the Hierarchy of our time would love to lock him away or kill him for it.

That is not my logic. Elected official's are expected to work for their country. By your logic you choose to be a slave to yours and see it as your employer.
I will go 1000/1 that customers private data is not exposed by Assange.

Copy and paste:
Early next year, Julian Assange says, a major American bank will suddenly find itself turned inside out. Tens of thousands of its internal documents will be exposed on Wikileaks.org with no polite requests for executives’ response or other forewarnings. The data dump will lay bare the finance firm’s secrets on the Web for every customer, every competitor, every regulator to examine and pass judgment on.

Total BS! I have not once spoken of anarchy. I am speaking of the right to information. If I elect someone I have the right to know how that person/s are representing me on the world stage.
If I pay taxes or entrust my money with a bank, I have a right to know how my money is spent or invested as do you and every other human on this planet including your beloved Chinese and DPRK peoples.

superlib,
You are no where near even wining this debate. you are very short on the facts surrounding the bogus rape claims. Even you cannot defend the video of the murder of Iraqi civilians and press agents by US helicopter gunships exposed via Assange.
We have a right to know what our Governments are doing around the world because we elect and enable them. With this information out in the open we can elect and enable those we deem suitable for their roles.
We have a right to know what giant banks and corporations do with our money and profits. With information we can choose where to shop and where to invest and bank.
what the USA and co are doing, attempting to deny us the right to information that may influence us in an alternate way of freedom of thought and choice is as tyrannical as any regime or order that exists in countries that the US and co have invaded and ruined under the guise of freedom and democracy.

what? US bombs and firings on civilians all covered up, dirty politics and tax payer money being spent on wholesale murder globally by the US and Assange is the megalomaniac trying to show the world how great he is? Oh man.....

His latest album is his best work to date. Very honest and quite deep. I was blown away by it despite not being a rap fan.

I agree. Whats more is that there will never be anyone honest to vote for if we the people allow this corruption to go on and on even as we know the truth.
