There is a very large blank section in the middle of this group of posts. At this late date, I have no idea what was deleted or precisely who demanded the censorship. I suspect that a Wikileaks document, and my story on it, was deleted.

What Assange told police

A lawyer for two women making sex complaints against Julian Assange says the case is not political.

Well, perhaps not. But reading details of the case against Assange certainly gives pause. Charges like this would never fly in a U.S. court.

What Assange told police
http://www.thelocal.se/30708/20101208/

The Guardian reports that a former extradition specialist for the Crown Prosecution Service predicted it would be "very difficult" for Sweden to get Assange sent back to face sexual assault allegations.

Raj Joshi, a former head of the European and International Division at the CPS, said Sweden's lack of a formal criminal charge against Assange increased his lawyers' chances of success in blocking the extradition attempt.

Assange's lawyers are scheduled to visit him tomorrow in prison for the first time since he was jailed on remand yesterday after Sweden requested his extradition.

Swedish prosecutors say they want to interview Assange about allegations of sexual assault against two women. His lawyers say they fear the US will attempt to extradite him to face charges over the release of hundreds of thousands of secret diplomatic cables though Washington has not so far taken any legal action against him.

Why do the Swedes need to interview him? He already gave statements to the police.

Assange as scapegoat. The Obama White House has always been paranoid of being accused of slacking on security. They dread being charged as poorly prepared to cope with terrorism. Yet, obviously, the Wikileaks caches demonstrated basic flaws in U.S. security.

By demonizing Assange, the Obama administration diverts attention from the Pentagon-State Dept. security weaknesses.

Suppose someone had exploited the security weakness who quietly passed the information to al Qaeda or a foreign power. That would have been a real threat to national security, because an adversary would be peeking at our poker hand without us knowing it. Instead, Wikileaks has done the United States a favor by spotlighting the security flaws.

An obvious flaw is that someone could download that much decrypted data without a cyber alarm going off. That flaw has been quietly fixed.
 

Hackers have been attacking elements of "the system" that have found excuses to penalize Wikileaks and its organizer, Assange. Other hackers have tried to shut down Wikileaks.

I'd like to point out that my internet work has been routinely disrupted by many forms of hacking for years.I've had annoying disruptions today. They are not "coincidences." Who benefits from a daily campaign of cyber attack and control? The national security crowd. Plus, they're the only ones that have the bucks to pay for such an operation to continue without interruption for years.

I doubt I'm the only one who has been targeted for such longterm treatment.

Obama's nuclear policy worries Paris. A secret cable reveals that among France's major concerns is that Washington might undermine France's desire to retain a nuclear deterrent, thus threatening its strategic interests.

Here is the cable:

SUBJECT: FRANCE’S POSITION ON NUCLEAR ISSUES IN THE RUN-UP
TO THE NPT REVCON
REF: A. PARIS POINTS JULY 15  B. PARIS POINTS JULY 6  C. PARIS POINTS APRIL 10  D. PARIS 1025
Classified By: Political Minister-Counselor Kathy Allegrone for Reasons  1.4(b), (d).
¶1. (S/NF) SUMMARY: French officials have made clear that nuclear issues enjoy the sustained attention of President Sarkozy and have become a major foreign policy priority, especially in the run-up to the spring 2010 Review Conference (RevCon) of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). France’s concerns go beyond the conference, however, to include larger issues of the link between disarmament and deterrence, as well as non-proliferation. In various meetings, French officials have noted repeatedly what they see as worrying trends in both U.S. and UK disarmament policy pronouncements.  Based on the calculation that they cannot fight a winning battle against or without us, and alongside a public strategy of positioning themselves as leaders on disarmament, the French are at great pains to coordinate with the United States to assuage their own concerns and present a united front to others on these issues. The seriousness with which the GOF takes these issues means that France can be a valuable partner to the United States on nuclear issues if we can calm their fears over our position on disarmament while making clear our policy goals and redlines. END SUMMARY.
--------------------------------------------- -
PUBLICLY PROCLAIMING LEADERSHIP ON DISARMAMENT
--------------------------------------------- -
¶2. (S/NF) France kicked off its reaction to President Obama’s nuclear policies immediately following his April 5 remarks in Prague with a public campaign to highlight France’s efforts toward disarmament, comparing their achievements favorably to the objectives outlined by the U.S. President. On April 9, centrist daily Le Figaro - which tends to reflect official positions - published an anonymous report from the Elysee saying President Obama’s statement largely recalled positions long-held by France (ref C). To further highlight French leadership, the same paper reported just prior to President Obama’s visit to Moscow that France had opened up the dismantled Pierrelatte fissile material production site to a group of journalists (ref B) as proof of France’s commitment to stopping the production of fissile materials ahead of FMCT negotiations.
¶3. (C/NF) The French MFA also produced statements on July 7 and 10 - immediately following President Obama’s Moscow trip - trumpeting France’s steps towards disarmament and claiming a unique leadership role among nuclear powers. The statements cited France’s reduction of its nuclear warheads to 300, dismantling of fissile material production sites, and a moratorium on fissile material production, while welcoming U.S.-Russian negotiations to reduce nuclear arsenals “which represent 95% of the global stockpiles.”
------------------------------
EAGER FOR ENERGETIC ENGAGEMENT
------------------------------
¶4. (S/NF) This flurry of publicity was followed up in July by a series of high-level, interagency engagements by the GOF on nuclear issues with the Embassy and with key officials from Washington. Political Director Gerard Araud has vowed that France is ready to coordinate with the United States on these issues “every day if necessary” (Note: Araud is headed to New York in late August to take up his new position as PermRep. End Note.). Jacques Audibert, currently A/S-equivalent for Strategic Affairs and Araud’s replacement as Political Director, has told us he expects to spend “most of his time” in 2009 on non-proliferation and disarmament issues. He called for continued engagement and early coordination, hoping to meet again on the sidelines of an expected P5 confidence-building meeting in London in September. Elysee Military Advisor Edouard Guillaud added France was eager to support U.S. ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, for example by sending French experts to the U.S. and by providing briefings to Codels in Paris.
--------------
FRENCH WORRIES
--------------
PARIS 00001039 002 OF 004
¶5. (S/NF) In large part, France’s desire to work ever more closely with the United States on nuclear issues reflects new concerns with U.S. policy, based on analysis of recent statements by President Obama, specifically his comments that: “The notion that prestige comes from holding these weapons, or that we can protect ourselves by picking and choosing which nations can have these weapons, is an illusion,” (Moscow) and “No single nation should pick and chose which nations hold nuclear weapons. That is why I strongly reaffirmed America’s commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons” (Cairo). The French read this as counter to the spirit of the NPT, in which this discrimination is inherent. Although U.S. interlocutors have pointed out that these speeches were intended to strengthen NPT principles, Araud and Ministry of Defense U/S-equivalent for Strategic Affairs Michel Miraillet said they fear non-aligned nations and NPT violators can easily interpret these remarks to their advantage. Miraillet even asked for advance warning of any speeches about nuclear issues that might contain “surprises.” Several of our French interlocutors have expressed concerns that these statements focus more on disarmament than on non-proliferation. Araud, Audibert, and MFA DAS-equivalent for Disarmament and Nonproliferation Martin Briens said that in touting U.S.-Russian negotiations and elaborating a long-term vision of total disarmament in the President’s speeches, the U.S. will make it easier for non-aligned nations to focus at the 2010 RevCon on actual progress on disarmament and avoid discussions of non-proliferation.
----
IRAN
----
¶6. (S/NF) The GOF has expressed its dismay at the U.S. decision to not mention Iran by name and make reference to its need to adhere to the Additional Protocol at the PrepCon.  The French have indicated that the NPT’s most urgent mission is to curb the Iranian potential to develop nuclear weapons. In order to address Iran head-on, Briens has emphasized that partners will have to abandon fears that they might disturb an atmosphere conducive to larger engagement of Iran. France has also welcomed U.S. assurances that we do not support nuclear capabilities for Saudi Arabia or Egypt, which they said would be tantamount to accepting a nuclear armed Iran. The French focus on Iran at the NPT comes in the context of a general French preference for strong rhetoric and strong action on Iran, based on the apparently broad GOF consensus that a nuclear Iran presents an unacceptable danger to French interests. While numerous French officials have highlighted their efforts to encourage strengthening sanctions against Iran with EU and UN partners, they have little optimism that these efforts will bear fruit. They are now concentrating on close cooperation with the United States and individual bilateral measures by individual partners to help increase pressure on the Iranian regime.
----
FMCT
----
¶7. (S/NF) France is currently reviewing its policy on an FMCT, a process the GOF expects to complete by the end of September. France has stopped its own production of fissile materials, and is in favor of a multilateral FMCT, which they view as a key measure to cap stockpiles in China, India, Israel, and Brazil by addressing the issue of future production in a legal regime. However, Briens has made clear that any effort to address the issue of existing stocks within the agreement is a French redline. Noting France’s transparency in admitting its total number of weapons, Briens said limiting its small stocks of fissile materials would undercut the credibility of France’s long-term deterrent. While France is willing to discuss transparency on stockpiles within the P5, French officials have repeatedly said they will not accept tabling this issue in Geneva. As France proceeds with its policy review, French officials have expressed interest in U.S. views on verification and sanctions for non-compliance.
¶8. (S/NF) In the context of an FMCT, French officials have repeatedly mentioned China’s expected opposition to real progress, regretting that, unlike France or the United States, the Chinese are not publicly challenged on their lack of action. As part of an effort to encourage movement by the Chinese, the MFA Disarmament and Non-proliferation section’s Celine Jurgensen told us that France intends to call for a
PARIS 00001039 003 OF 004
universal moratorium on fissile material production as FMCT negotiations proceed (ref D). Noting potential progress in Geneva on starting these negotiations, Jurgensen said France intends to move as soon as possible, potentially making its plea for a moratorium at UN First Committee discussions this autumn.
------------------------------------------
AN OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE U.S. RHETORIC?
------------------------------------------
¶9. (S/NF) As the GOF’s focus on President Obama’s speeches shows, French concerns currently focus on U.S. rhetoric and they hope to shape our views in their favor during the current U.S. policy reviews underway. As Briens told us, France is worried that non-aligned countries will try and use the RevCon as a referendum on P5 progress on disarmament to forestall calls to fulfill non-proliferation obligations or take on new ones, such as the Additional Protocol. Even if the U.S. is fully committed to disarmament, the results will be long term, allowing non-aligned countries to cite a lack of progress by the time of the RevCon as a sign of P5 hypocrisy.
--------------------------------------------- ----------
FRANCE’S UNTOUCHABLE REDLINE: DELEGITIMIZING DETERRENCE
--------------------------------------------- ----------
¶10. (S/NF) However, France’s concerns about U.S. rhetoric go beyond RevCon tactics and to the heart of French nuclear theology. Araud said that any statements that are seen to delegitimize the idea of a nuclear deterrent capacity directly threaten French strategic interests, which are fundamentally and “psychologically” bound to France’s deterrent. France’s policy of nuclear deterrence is supported by parties across the political spectrum and has become an essential part of French strategic identity. In the negotiations preceding France’s return to NATO’s integrated military command, President Sarkozy made clear that an independent French nuclear policy was an “untouchable” redline. And in a notable departure from the official refrain that France looks forward to cooperating with the United States, Araud explicitly threatened that France would “stonewall” if it felt its sensitivities were being ignored. In this context, French officials are especially keen for details on how the United States plans to “hedge” by maintaining a deterrent in addition to our disarmament efforts and how U.S. disarmament goals can accommodate build ups by China and possibly Iran.
---------------------------
FRANCE WORRIED ABOUT THE UK
---------------------------
¶11. (S/NF) France’s concerns over evolving U.S. nuclear policy come in the context of similar, but even greater, concerns with the UK. Audibert told us July 10 that the July 6 France-UK defense summit was difficult across a range of issues, but specifically cited British support for eliminating nuclear arsenals (ref A) as a major area of divergence. Araud and the Elysee’s Guillaud fear British nuclear policy is being guided for the moment by Labour Party “demagogues” for domestic political consumption. Briens added that Gordon Brown seems to have decided disarmament will be his legacy, and the UK has moved from talking about disarmament as a political sop to gain parliamentary support for renewing its Trident force, to embracing disarmament as an end in itself. According to Briens, in some fora, the UK has shown willingness to accept clauses calling for a “ban on nuclear weapons.” Critically, UK rhetoric suggests that nuclear weapons are inherently bad, thus implying that maintaining a deterrent force is immoral. For France “nuclear weapons are not bad or good, they just are.” Thus, France continues to oppose the phrase “a world free of nuclear weapons,” which in Araud’s view implies a moral judgment. However, France can accept “a world without nuclear weapons,” which the GOF thinks is more neutral.
¶12. (S/NF) UK Political Officer Ben Fender told us on July 21 that the French have been very vocal in their concern about UK disarmament policy, particularly following a March 17 speech by PM Gordon Brown suggesting the UK was ready for further reductions to its nuclear arsenal. While admitting that Brown cut his political teeth in a 1980s Labour Party supportive of unilateral disarmament, Fender has been at pains to convince the GOF that in the context of the RevCon,
PARIS 00001039 004 OF 004
the UK and France actually have very little to argue about. Britain also wants a balanced focus on all three pillars, and agrees on the need to work with the P3 to reach out to non-aligned countries and discourage spoilers. According to Fender, the short term France/UK disagreement is essentially one of rhetoric: France feels talk of disarmament ultimately weakens the P3 diplomatically, while the UK feels that a publicly pro-disarmament stance gives the P3 diplomatic leverage to shift the discussion to non-proliferation by arguing that the nuclear states are doing their part.
¶13. (S/NF) Fender added that, in the UK’s view, while any moves seen to threaten the legitimacy of France’s deterrent will remain a redline, there are other issues that “France will make noise on, but ultimately come along.” In the latter category, Fender mentioned specifically transparency measures in an FMCT. The danger, in his view, is that France will feel that its deterrence redline is not being respected by allies and retreat to its box, blocking progress on other issues. Serious engagement by both the United States and the UK will be necessary to reassure the French and prevent this scenario.
¶14. (S/NF) COMMENT: The GOF is anxious for P3 unity and close cooperation with the United States in rolling out disarmament and non-proliferation goals in the coming year. Therefore, France is nervous that the U.S. position on disarmament is moving further away from their own and that we are more accommodating to the concerns of non-aligned nations over existing stockpiles. The GOF’s proactive engagement of U.S. officials suggests a strategy of attempting to influence U.S. policy as it is being elaborated in order to protect, in their view, the diplomatic viability of their own deterrent capacity. The potential pitfalls with these concerns will be if the GOF continues to feel the United States is “delegitimizing” their nuclear deterrent, thus precipitating classic French obstructionism (as threatened by Araud and feared by the British) that could turn a valuable partner on non-proliferation into an institutional “non.” Continued communication between Washington officials and their French counterparts will help tamp down misunderstandings of our position before they escalate, while displaying at the same time a commitment to cooperating with the GOF on this policy priority. In this context, the recent visits by Ambassador Susan Burk, Special Advisor Robert Einhorn, and Deputy Under Secretary of Defense Dr. James Miller were greatly appreciated by our French interlocutors.
As next steps, post suggests the following for the Department’s consideration:
 - Maintaining regular senior-level engagement with the GOF on nuclear issues in Paris, Washington, Geneva, New York, and elsewhere, ensuring direct and clear lines of communication and clarifying our position and our redlines;
 - Reiterating to the French that our positions regarding the RevCon are largely in synch;
 - Continuing active discussions at both technical and political levels of those topics where disagreements may remain but where we might find common ground, such as the nature of an FMCT or how to deal with Iran at the RevCon;
 - Using this engagement as an opportunity to look for early warning signs that French suspicions regarding our position on disarmament may be leading to obstructionist behavior that could halt progress on areas where agreement would otherwise be possible. END COMMENT. PEKALA

What Assange told Swedish police


The charges against Julian Assange look bogus when one reads details of his interrogation by Swedish police in Sweden's newspaper, the Local.

Surely they wouldn't have gone far in a U.S. court.


From the Local:
Sexual assault claims brought against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange have nothing to do with his website and he should say so, the lawyer for the two Swedish women whose claims led to his arrest said on Wednesday.
"There is absolutely no link between what those two women have been through and WikiLeaks, the CIA, or the American administration," Claes Borgström said.

The case "has nothing to do with WikiLeaks. I would like Julian Assange to come forward and say that himself. It would be a way of getting rid of all these rumours," Borgström told reporters in Stockholm.

Borgström criticised the 39-year-old Australian for "not only hinting, but saying that this case is a conspiracy."

"He knows this had nothing to do with WikiLeaks," the lawyer stressed.

Assange, whose website is currently publishing thousands of confidential US diplomatic cables, was denied bail and remanded in custody in Britain Tuesday following his arrest under a warrant issued by Swedish authorities.

The British court, which denied him bail, heard Assange is accused of unlawfully coercing and sexually molesting a woman on August 14th and deliberately molesting her on August 18th.

A fourth allegation claims Assange had sex with a second woman on August 17th while she was asleep at her Stockholm home and without using a condom.

During an interrogation with police in Stockholm in late August, the transcript of which was reviewed by the Expressen newspaper, Assange admitted to police that one of the women behind the rape allegations had rejected his overtures to have sex.

“Yes, sometimes, but not in a way which was meaningful. No, not something which would be out of the ordinary,” Assange told police when asked if the woman had rejected his sexual advances.

At the start of the interrogation, Assange was informed that he was suspected for molesting a woman in her apartment by having unprotected sex with her.

According to Expressen’s sources, the woman accused the WikiLeaks founder of consciously puncturing a condom and then having sex with her, something Assange flatly denied in the interrogation.

Assange was reluctant to leave his version of events, fearing it would be leaked to the press, but was eventually convinced by his attorney at the time, Leif Silbersky, to provide details to the police.

He admitted that he had sex “several times” with the woman during the night between August 13th and 14th, but claimed he used a condom.

However, some details of the interrogation remain confidential, but according to Expressen, the questions posed by police suggest that the woman saw something that made her believe that Assange may have nevertheless had unprotected sex with her.

Assange admitted that the woman had asked him about the incident.

“And we didn’t discuss it further at all, not at all,” Assange said.

Assange has nevertheless consistently denied the rape allegations, which his London-based lawyer Mark Stephens told journalists Tuesday were "politically motivated." He has also said the claims were part of a "smear campaign" to discredit his website.

Borgström said the elusive WikiLeaks publisher's arrest was "a positive development" for his clients.

"They are a little relieved that he is under arrest in England, but at the same time, it's a very frustrating situation, they have to wait much longer," he said.

The lawyer described his clients as "two ordinary, young Swedish women" who were interested in WikiLeaks' work and for that reason went to listen to Assange speak in Stockholm in August.

"They are very credible, they have given very detailed stories about what they have been through," Borgström said.

"This is like any other investigation. There is no difference because it's Assange. It's up to the prosecutor to decide which information would be released to the accused," he said.

The two women, he said, got in touch with each other after their contacts with Assange, and decided together to go to the police.

"They informed the police of what had happened, asked for advice," he said, adding that at the time the two women were afraid they could have contacted HIV.

Bergström said the rape charge against Assange -- which was not an aggravated rape charge -- could land the WikiLeaks boss in jail for four years (an aggravated rape charge in Sweden comes with a longer sentence), sexual molestation could lead to fines and up to two years in jail, and a coercion charge could also lead to two years in jails and fines.

"That is what the charges look like today. They can change as the investigation goes on," he said.

"He says he is motivated by exposing the truth," the women's lawyer said of
Assange.

"I think he should bring forth those principles in this case," he added.

Backlash against U.S. 'get Assange' policy

Washington's determination to 'get Assange' is facing a worldwide backlash, as more and more people question why Julian Assange should be found guilty of "something, anything" for doing what press organizations traditionally do -- expose leaked documents.

A New York Times report says Attorney General Eric Holder is considering how to charge Assange with trafficking in stolen property, the antiquated Espionage Act being considered politically infeasible. In other words, the Obama administration is trying to concoct a charge that will "sell" politically. Needless to say, Holder will have to figure out how to avoid charging New York Times Publisher Arthur Hayes Sulzberger and Editor Bill Keller with the same "crime."

Clearly, Washington wants Assange held on petty charges until a pretext for extradition to the United States can be concocted. I don't know how Swedish law works, but in the United States, Assange's lawyers might be able to approach the complainants to see whether they would be willing to settle out of court.  If Assange can simply pay the women damages, there would be no need for British or Swedish courts to order him held until U.S. authorities could render the information terrorist to U.S. soil (Guantanamo Bay, maybe?).

Actually, that's not a joke. There is the distinct possibility that Holder will use anti-terror statutes to hold Assange indeterminately on grounds he is an "enemy combatant"   who assists terrorists. After all, what else does Holder really have?

Mastercard, Visa and PayPal have all cut off Wikileaks in the past week, citing violations of their “terms of service” agreements, but no such action has been taken against the New York Times and other publications that are reprinting and reporting on the cables, observes Wired's Threat Level blog.

Britain's Guardian, which overall has had the best blow-by-blow coverage of the Wikileaks affair, in an editorial agreed with academic blogger Clay Shirky: " If it's OK for a democracy to just decide to run someone off the internet for doing something they wouldn't prosecute a newspaper for doing, the idea of an internet that further democratizes the public sphere will have taken a mortal blow."

Australia's former prime minister, Kevin Rudd, who was described unflatteringly in a secret cable, defended fellow Australian Assange and blasted Washington's 'get Assange' policy, saying Washington should not hold Assange responsible for doing what the media often do with leaked documents. The U.S. government, he said, was responsible for the leaks, not Assange.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/dec/08/assange-security-breaches-kevin-rudd

As Judith Miller wrote, as far as the cable contents go, there is much ado about nothing, or at least very little.

For example, one just-released cable tells us that the Poles fear major U.S. troop withdrawals from Europe. Gee whiz! No kidding?!

However, it is interesting that Polish political figures suspect the United States is downgrading its relations with Eastern Europe -- which might imply a quiet diplomatic maneuver to cede that region back to the Russian sphere of influence. But how serious a possibility this is cannot be gleaned from the cable.

Here is that cable:

FROM POLAND

REF: A. USNATO 329

¶C. WARSAW 360

Classified By: Ambassador Victor Ashe for Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)

¶1. (S) SUMMARY: Embassy Warsaw believes there would be a
strong, negative Polish reaction to major U.S. force
reductions in Europe. From Poland,s perspective, a big
drawdown would be seen as evidence that the U.S. is less
committed to European security at a time of heightened
concern over the intentions of a resurgent Russia. Polish
officials have emphasized the need for NATO to bolster its
military capabilities to avoid becoming a political club more
than a military alliance. They are adamant about revising
NATO,s Strategic Concept to restore the balance between
external missions and territorial defense; they will strongly
protest a reduction in the resources needed for that defense.
The Poles tell us that it would be hard to justify continued
sacrifices in missions like ISAF if cooperation with the
Alliance is a one-way street, and the U.S. and other Allies
do not take Polish security concerns into account. END
SUMMARY.

¶2. (S) The Poles believe they have an implicit
understanding with the United States and the Alliance: they
will take active part in missions far from their borders,
particularly in Afghanistan, provided that the Alliance makes
adequate provisions for the defense of Poland,s borders.
Poland is ISAF,s seventh leading troop contributor, fighting
without caveats in Southern Afghanistan, and Foreign Minister
Sikorski told us recently that he is pressing Prime Minister
Tusk to approve another troop increase, from 2,000 to 3,000
soldiers. Some analysts have told us (Ref C) that the
greatest threat to Polish resolve in Afghanistan would not be
increased casualties, but a failure by the Alliance to
address Poland,s concerns about Europe,s territorial
defense. Poland would see U.S. troop cuts as compounding
shortfalls in the resources and political will needed to
defend Europe.

¶3. (S) Unlike the previous Polish government, the Tusk
government is not reflexively Russophobic, but Polish
officials remain concerned about a resurgent Russia. The GoP
took the lead in marshalling an EU reaction to Russia,s
invasion of Georgia, and faulted the U.S., among others, for
doing too little, too late. In a speech at the Atlantic
Council last year, the Foreign Minister launched the
&Sikorski doctrine8: the West must respond adequately the
next time Russia tries to change Europe,s borders by force.

¶4. (S) Foreign Minister Sikorski has told U.S. leaders
emphatically that NATO risks becoming a political club more
than a military alliance ) he believes it needs to change
the politically correct threat assessments (particularly
those concerning Russia), and put in place substantial
contingency planning and exercises. During bilateral talks
with the U.S. on Missile Defense, the Poles implied that the
Alliance,s Article V guarantees may not be dependable, and
pressed for bilateral U.S. security guarantees. As NATO
launches the process of revising NATO,s Strategic Concept,
the Poles are pushing hard to restore balance between
out-of-area operations and territorial defense. Polish
officials have hinted at how strong the reaction would be if
their concerns are not addressed in the new Strategic
Concept; the reaction would doubtless be even stronger if
they perceived strategic guidance as undercut by U.S. force
reductions.

¶5. (S) Poland would see significant U.S. force reductions
in Europe as the latest in a series of disappointments with
the U.S.: in their view, the U.S. failed to deliver promised
Iraqi contracts, to bring a loyal Ally into the Visa Waiver
Program, and most recently, to appoint an appropriately
high-level presidential delegation to the September 1
commemoration in Gdansk of the 70th anniversary of the
outbreak of World War II. Many Poles see this as part of a
broader regional trend, a downgrading of U.S. interest in
Central and Eastern Europe. Three Polish statesmen, Lech
Walesa, Aleksander Kwasniewski and Adam Daniel Rotfeld, were
among the signatories of the July letter from Central
European leaders to President Obama. The letter warned that
the region,s stability and Atlanticist outlook cannot be
taken for granted in the face of allegedly waning U.S.
engagement.

- c't - LKW-Maut: Warum sind die Maut-Verträge geheim?,
Die  von Wikileaks begonnene Veröffentlichung der Maut-Verträge ist darum   bemerkenswert, weil von Beginn der Ausschreibung an die deutsche   LKW-Maut so geheim war, dass selbst Bundestagsabgeordnete keine Details   wussten. Die Öffentlichkeit war so nicht in der Lage, die Aussagen zur   Maut überprüfen zu können.

http://www.pastebin.ca/2010860 Turn raw Wikileaks HTML into PHP/SQL

To create a wikileaks.org site mirror
First, identify the most up-to-date mirror : for the moment it seems to be http://wikileaks.nl [change this if you know a better one] and use one of the following tip :

wget -N -m http://wikileaks.nl

wget -r -–mirror -–no-parent -–convert-links http://213.251.145.96/cablegate.html
[from http://blog.spyou.org/wordpress-mu/2010/12/03/creer-un-site-miroir/ ]

You can also use httrack [apt-get install httrack on Debian based Linux distibutions - exists also on Windows] :
httrack http://wikileaks.nl/cablegate.html
and to run an update :
httrack --update
[cf. http://www.bortzmeyer.org/generer-version-statique-site-web.html ]
[httrack exists also with a GUI : http://www.httrack.com/ ]

Pour créer un miroir HTTP, tuto disponible ici :
http://boucard.brice.perso.neuf.fr/index.php?view=article&id=70

To update a mirror from other ones and try to keep the most up-to-date files: (to be reviewed, please)
Will request domains listed in a 'sources.txt' file and updates new files (cables) :
http://openetherpad.org/WikiLeaks
for source in `cat sources.txt`
do
        `wget -nH -N -r --mirror --no-parent http://$source/cablegate.html -P webroot`
done

NOTE: Don't run these too frequently, it could overload the mirrors.

To create a mirror of this site:
wget -N http://openetherpad.org/ep/pad/export/WikiLeaks/latest?format=html

Close to 11.000 documents from the old site, now deleted and missing a lot, but..
