Openleaks distributed

Randall Bass on 03 Apr 11

Another good piece on the differences between WikiLeaks and OpenLeaks. This one also emphasizes that distribution of responsibility for vetting documents, checking validity, and making determinations about security breaches, etc. to the publishers. The notion of distributed intelligence and distribute responsibility is a key Web concept that has many manifestations. But this is an interesting and important version of it. "Distributed intelligence" is also one of those concepts that has both social and technological implications.

A severe criticism of the Wikileaks for releasing a video on collateral murder of iraqi civilians - undermines the very validity of wikileaks and criticizes the editor for attacking the US intelligence. Shows how much government pressure and control wikileaks is under.

Collateral Murder - 0 views

shared by Duncan Gillespie on 16 Mar 11 - Cached

WikiLeaks wants to ensure that all the leaked information it receives gets the attention it deserves. In this particular case, some of the people killed were journalists that were simply doing their jobs: putting their lives at risk in order to report on war.

wikileaks Assange

shared by Tom Zorc on 17 Mar 11 - Cached

Assange is an international trafficker, of sorts. He and his colleagues collect documents and imagery that governments and other institutions regard as confidential and publish them on a Web site called WikiLeaks.org.

The secretiveness stems from the belief that a populist intelligence operation with virtually no resources, designed to publicize information that powerful institutions do not want public, will have serious adversaries.

Assange calls the site “an uncensorable system for untraceable mass document leaking and public analysis,” and a government or company that wanted to remove content from WikiLeaks would have to practically dismantle the Internet itself. So far, even though the site has received more than a hundred legal threats, almost no one has filed suit.

*process of learning note* As I explore a certain aspect of a topic, I find myself opening the several links an article references in multiple tabs, reading those articles fully, and doing the same. Each piece offers a slightly different perspective or take on the issue, yet rounds out the perspective.

The judge said "there is just no evidence that there was anything other than sort of intelligent inquisitiveness and the pleasure of being able to—what's the expression—surf through these various computers"[2] and stated that Assange would have gone to jail for up to 10 years if he had not had such a disrupted childhood.[27]

  It is interesting to see the effect Assange's troubled childhood had on his world views.

Assange has received a number of awards and nominations, including the 2009 Amnesty International Media Award for publishing material about extrajudicial killings in Kenya and Readers' Choice for Time magazine's 2010 Person of the Year.[14] Assange has appealed a February 2011 decision by English courts to extradite him to Sweden for questioning in relation to a sexual assault investigation.[15][16][17][18] He has said the allegations of wrongdoing are "without basis".[19] Contents [hide]

WikiLeaks Archive - A Selection From the Cache of Diplomatic Dispatches - Interactive F... - 0 views

shared by Adam Rosenfeld on 20 Mar 11 - No Cached

A small number of names and passages in some of the cables have been removed (———) by The New York Times to protect diplomats’ confidential sources, to keep from compromising American intelligence efforts or to protect the privacy of ordinary citizens.
- Adam Rosenfeld on 20 Mar 11
  
  In the "About" section, wikileaks says "from time to time we may remove or significantly delay the publication of some identifying details from original documents to protect life and limb of innocent people." While it doesn't appear the cable wires put anyone's life in immediate danger, it it interesting to note that the Times additionally censors the documents... Why didn't wikileaks censor these documents already, or why did the Times feel the need to censor them when wikileaks didn't?
