Apparently the Wikileaks founder must have been in league with anonymous. Holy stuff.

[Mr.Interceptor]

stuff went down...

[Miga]

Damn...
...that's all I can say.

[Comatose]

Holy stuff. This was just on the news.

Julian Assange needs to be eliminated, and somebody needs to convince Anonymous that Wikileaks is bad, and that they need to DDoS them.

But they're probably trolling.

[Mr.Interceptor]

Julian Assange needs to be eliminated

Personally, I think he's doing the world a favor.

I'm pretty confused on which side to take.
My brother thinks they're doing it a favor, but I'm not too sure what's really going on.

Anyone want to elaborate?

no, no, and no
wikileaks just needs to show the important stuff (corruption mostly) more often instead of what one diplomat said to another over a cup of coffee

Secret stuff is happening between countries and WikiLeaks is revealing it to the public. Like the president/or whatever of Saudi Arabia "urging the U.S. to go to war with Iran."

[PowerDag]

Hackers that could hack credit companies? Damn good hackers.

Oh.
So, they're trying to reveal stuff to the public that they don't want us to know?

Anything else besides just that?

Ah.

[Bisjac]

It don't appear anything was actually hacked. No payback was even done lol.

If it was anon, then shame on them for failing. Any group of bored 10 year olds could have done this. And it wasn't even helpful to the cause.

I'm with the athorities' side on this one

[IkeTheGeneric]

Guy is arrested for being an idiot

lol
