"We Have Not Seen Anything Yet": Guardian Editor Says

[Joanne98]

"In the coming days, we are going to see some quite startling disclosures about Russia, the nature of the Russian state, and about bribery and corruption in other countries, particularly in Central Asia," says Investigations Executive Editor David Leigh at the Guardian, one of the three newspapers given advanced access to the secret U.S. embassy cables by the whistleblower website, WikiLeaks. "We will see a wrath of disclosures about pretty terrible things going on around the world." Leigh reviews the major WikiLeaks revelations so far, explains how the 250,000 files were downloaded and given to the newspaper on a thumb drive, and confirms the Guardian gave the files to the New York Times. Additional cables will be disclosed throughout the week.

1. I guess this is what Democracy looks like.

Citizens should have enough information to understand what is being done in their names. We talk about freedom, but spend a lot of money to hide what we are really doing. There may be no place in heaven for citizens of the United States.
