    Remember they have released only a tiny fraction of the total they have, they are still reviewing the rest (contrary to media lead belief that they just release everything without checking and to hell with the consequences). This 'leak' is going to be going on for a long long time

    What i am interested in seeing is what the US diplomats were saying about their host governments during the build up to the Iraq war

    And just seen next year the target is a major US bank, seems they are sitting on a ton of internal documents but have not got time to process them yet

      The timing and sequence of the information releases has clearly been more carefully co-ordinated this time, between WikiLeaks, the Guardian, et al. This is probably to ensure the story can me made to run for a few weeks with new revalations every day, thus selling more papers for the Guardian, and keeping Wikileaks in the public eye for as long as possible.

      This interview with the founder is worth reading. There's a lot of information in there. He compares the upcoming release on a US bank (early next year) to the "Enron emails".

          Prof Tom Flanagan said Barack Obama should “put out a contract and maybe use a drone or something” to rid the world of Mr Assange.
          As the anchor on the CBC news programme warned him that his comments were “pretty harsh stuff”, Prof Flanagan responded that he was “feeling very manly today”.
          Do you think he's worried that something he's said will come out?
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            They already have the person who leaked the stories, Wikileaks as well as the newspapers reporting on it cannot be held accountable. It's nothing more than an embarrassment to the people involved, no ones life is in danger.

              They have the person who they think leaked the stories. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

                True, if they are going to go for the death penalty then the head if computer security and all below should be heading to the chair.

                  Yikes, I didn't realise there was a global man-hunt going on for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange who has gone into hiding. Everyone's after him and there's no sanctuary. He's even been framed accused of rape, although the US just wants to try him for being a spy. His mum is hiding too.
