I have questions regarding the Wikileak thing

[whosinpower]

The US knew who leaked the info to Wikileaks....is that correct?
They are vociferously condemning the act of leaking the information....
backtacking, apologising ahead of the document dump....
The website gets a cyber attack the day of the release....

Am I the only one that wonders if every single document is real...or is this whole story a charade with some real documents and some covert CIA planted ones....?

Because, I have to admit - it would be a pretty brilliant and covert way to plant the seeds of doubt to certain unfriendly nations....Iran is the outcast of the entire middle eastern block....
China is ready to abandon North Korea.....

Of course, I do freely admit to enjoying exploring conspiracy theories....not seriously though.

1. You know that anything is possible...the more I see going on here

and around the world..I see almost anything a possibality..I thought Obama was kind of a savior but I cannot believe this anymore and yet maybe...

2. That's possible - but consider this:

Since WikiLeaks is having the Corporate Media (NYT, Guardian, etc.) fact-check the documents, it's possible that part of damage control is to have their friends in the media filter just the documents that they want released while holding back the documents that they would rather not have released.

3. And, if you're correct, that would be the reason that the WikiLeaks site was

hacked, or disabled -- so that only the newspaper contacts would have access?

If this is the case, I wonder if Al Jazeera could have been contained if it had been one of the contacts.
