Phooey

WikiLeaks begins publishing 5 million emails from STRATFOR - Pastebin.com

  • WIKILEAKS PRESS RELEASE
  • EMBARGOED EMBARGOED EMBARGOED
  •  
  • DO NOT DISCLOSE THE EXISTANCE OF THIS RELEASE
  • OR ANY INFORMATION DERIVED FROM IT BEFORE
  • Monday 27 February 00:01 GMT 2012
  • If I'd found this yesterday I could have leaked it.

    The whole thing is about WikiLeaks outing the private intelligence company, Stratfor, which has always seemed (and still seems, as far as the revelations provided by the press release noted above) like a perfectly good idea to me. They, according to WikiLeakes, pay their sources bribes, an old-fashioned transgression that disappeared with Citizens United, if it is a transgression at all—commissions might be an equally descriptive word. Or just plain fees.
