why to love WikiLeaks

The wealth of information that we have recently been learning is owed to WikiLeaks. I've attached a link ofrom the guardian and it summarizes it pretty well, it's long but worth the read.

WikiLeaks has been a catalyst for change worldwide. These cables have been exposing politicans and journalists misdeeds and therefore, people around the world have risen demanding their justice. it first began when there was a leaked US embassy cable, that in particular drew lots of attention worldwide. It revealed everything from the torture in India, to oil giant, to the U.S.'s efforts to force Spain to drop a murder investigation in the case of a Spanish cameraman killed by US soldiers. The cables have FINALLY turned the world inside out, enabling us all to see a more transparent government; the reality and the dirty of government and diplomacy.


Therefore, people have been using the cables for their benefit. In Tunisia, the people demanded justice and change and a revolution broke out because of Wikileaks. Thanks to Wikileaks regular human beings, like myself and activists around the world have now a better understanding of what is REALLY going on in the world.

We owe this BIG change to everyone who worked at WikiLeaks, and ofcourse an exceptional thank you to Julian Assange. people may hate you but i assure you there are x10 more that love you too, we're just less "powerful"

Erekat quits over Palestine Papers

Last month, Erekat accused Al Jazeera of taking part in a campaign to overthrow the PA after exposing over 1,600 confidential files on the negotiations between Palestinian and Israeli officials. these leakswere later made public by the network.
The documents exposed concessions to Israel in 10 years of secret peace talks, embarrassing and angering the PA leadership.
Ofcourse during the time the papers leaked, Erekat accused Al Jazeera of attempting to hurt the peace process and provoke people into "a revolution against their leaders in order to bring down the Palestinian political system".

He insisted that the PA's position on Jerusalem, refugees and borders during peace negotiations were based on internationally recognised principles.

weeks leter, Erekat steps down and meanwhile, the chief Palestinian negotiator in peace talks with Israel is also resigning. Saeb Erekat has resigend as a result of information leaked in documents last month.
