Of course, I'm sure they run psyops and things of that nature to get stories out in Al Jazeera, the Middle East, Asia wherever too. So just b/c we're reading non-Western media doesn't necessarily mean it's not what the CIA wants us to know.

Apparently you haven't read the cable about Murr. Too bad, it's pretty juicy, but it might not satisfy your particular narrative desires. Reality seldom will.

Some things do, including this type of cheap and lazy dismissal of everything people say, when it involves Israel.

I've read it, several times. Are you saying that Elias Murr's treason justifies the bombing of Southern Lebanon? That's exactly what it sounds like.

This fits into your meta-narrative that the cables are a pro-Israel hatchet job how?
barracuda wrote:What's lazy is the apparent reading abilities of some of the members of the forum, who feel the need to ask the same questions over and over regarding the lack of inclusion of their pet issues within the 1/100th of the cables which have yet been released, whether Israel, or 911, or whatever, even though those questions have been addressed virtually every time they've been raised, and addressed substantively. I realise it's a long thread(s), but the "where is Israel in all this?" question has really become merely an echo.

I do not support war, or killing, or Israel, for that matter. I do support well reasoned analysis, though, and generally, thoughtfulness.

And frankly, no matter how you personally react to the demeanor and grooming of Julian Assange, he is at present being held in Wandsworth prison by the authority of the British Crown on charges of having unprotected sex with two apparently very attractive women. His detention in solitary confinement at a high security lockdown under constant surveillance is paced at the moment by the activities of the Americans, the world's most violent and unforgiving empire, preparing espionage charges against him in hopes of extradition and, presumably, interrogation and imprisonment.
