WikiLeaker Owes His Freedom To Bad Paperwork

WikiLeaks makes the news again today with more leaked diplomatic cables dealing with the relationship between Italy's Silvio Berlusconi and Russia's Vladimir Putin (as well as the whole Amazon dropping them from their servers thing). Meanwhile, some critics are noticing information found in the leaks—specifically about Iranian ballistic missiles—that isn't making most of the mainstream coverage and infers government meddling.

As for wanted international man of intrigue Julian Assange? The Post says the leaker-at-large is "wiki lucky" and that the only reason he hasn't been arrested yet is because Swedish prosecutors filled out his arrest warrant incorrectly. They are now planning to write a new warrant. Bureaucratic fumbles, they happen everywhere!

British authorities reportedly know his whereabouts (not in NYC?) and a WikiLeaks spokesman says that his location is being kept under wraps because American and British talking heads have called for Assange's death.

    universal synchronicity | bad paperwork

    Just means americas paperwork is full of lies, that cause death and inequality in the name of profit for few and not the many,

    universal brotherhood always wins in EVERY END and helps out here and there when the time is right.

  • Ironically, the Swedish prosecutors only found out that the warrant was ineptly filled out because of a scathing expose about it on Wikileaks.
