Wikileaks .org : The website that shatters the government

Written on 12 April 2010 by Rose

Wikileaks

It is not the first time that we are hearing of political abuse being revealed by Wikileaks.org.

However, this time, they are hitting harder with a video that is getting around the world on the TV channels.

We are able to spot two Reuters’s journalists and 10 other persons being shot down by an American Apache attack helicopter, in the year 2007. They have been mistaken for Iraqi insurgents.

These images are outrageous. The military team gets quickly down to a conclusion and starts the shoot out like the cowboys in the old Wild West. (check out the video after the jump, more information on Collateralmurder.com)

The Wiki leaks strength lies in the fact that this website is able to publish extremely confidential and compromising videos of any country that has something to hide.

Despite all the numerous legal attacks and attempts to take it down, none has achieved. Wikileaks still survives to dispense its own justice, which is “Right to know“.

Below is Julian Assange, journalist and Australian programmer, the spokesperson of Wikileaks who has obtained the Amnesty International Media Awards in 2009.

The CIA has even tried to destroy the website (since it is a threat for the American army) but it was in vain, until the present day. Many countries have already taken radical measures against Wikileaks: China, Israel, Russia, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, North Korea and Thailand, have already blocked its access completely.
