Episode 42: WikiLeaks : Blessing in Disgust?

several weeks ago WikiLeaks with it's founder Assange have reavealed to the world some of  a lot of America's backroom works and 'sleights of hand' in a huge number of political events all over the world. The most interesting part for me is the involvement of The States in the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. The revealed significant acts of war, or referred to as SIGACTS include a couple of videos taken during the invasion, which shows American forces shooting at unarmed civvies in broad daylight, prolly from an AC-130.

Wikileaks and its associates also cited alot of things regarding the war, including the works of snappy, trigger happy private security contractors working in Iraq, that sometimes even shoot among themselves. You want to read about it? Go Google 'Iraq War Logs'.

So what does all these things have to do with me?

Well, I, like many other out there are very concerned about how America handles its external policies. Now all those shooting games don't look too fictional anymore. Damn. And apparently, like many other countries in this world, our country also has political ties with The States. And since we do have ties with them, it is only natural that we feel anxious about their involvement in the politics of our country, and seeing how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I found the cablegate for American embassy in KL, but seemed the link has been shut down by YOU-KNOW-WHO.  :)
