Any of you heard of Cryptome? Been around for years but doesn't get the attention that wikiwhore Assange gets. Have a look you'll find something interesting. Wikileaks barely ever shows up something we really don't already know anyway.

Cryptome published the Iraq Niger forgeries back in 2003 . These forged documents were used as evidence to stir up fear about Iraq trying to purchase uranium from Niger which we all know now is BS.

Of course there's much more on there if you have a look.

I always thought the wikileaks thing was overblown in terms of its blowback on the US' standing with other countries. I think Gates had it right:

Quote:
The fact is, governments deal with the United States because it�s in their interest, not because they like us, not because they trust us, and not because they believe we can keep secrets.


I think that wikileaks and this cryptome site are good resources to have around, but they are not the game changers that some analyses have made them out to be.
