A morning show was talking about the entire Wikileaks thing the other morning, and the strange actions of Assange and his attornies. It seems they are very upset that they feel information about the sexual misconduct charges were leaked before being reviewed by the attornies.
I think it's comical that they are upset because they feel information was leaked, and it serves them right if it was. :laugh:
you haven't heard? For a guy who loves Assange, you should read the "leaks" from Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the like. All are pointing to being worried about a nuclear Iran. It seems only you think they are benign. This from a nation that routine kills and tortures its own citizens just to keep the peace...Quote:

Yes, they told they are scared, but as far as I know, even the Wikileaks haven't published any threats from Iran. Some people are afraid of dark, even if the dark hasn't threatened them.Quote:

You I guess didn't hear their President on an almost yearly basis promising to wipe Israel off the map. I guess the funding of Hezbollah and their terrorist activities are just good will? Your naivety is truly breathtaking....Quote:

I guess the Iranian nuclear program doesn't bother you Eki, but that's ok, most of the world has your back allowing you to have these naive notions...everyone has pretty much joined in on the sanctions against Iran. With luck, that will be one of the vises that will cause cracks in the Mullah's theocratic dictatorship.
Enlighten me then. What has that got to do with Saudi Arabia?Quote:

The Arabs feel threatened, probably more than the Israelis do, by Iran's nuclear project because its a direct threat to them and they don't have a deterrence or the confidence that the Americans would strike back on their behalf.
I am not afraid of the dark - I am afraid of what is in it !!Quote:
