The fact of the matter with 911 is that there was a conspiracy AND a cover up. The most important witnesses were never included in the final investigation and some of the most important material and informational evidence was never released or included in the investigations...ask the NY fire department for one. I wouldn't be in the least surprised considering the nature of the other video and documents that some of i has something to do with the 911 info that was never released.
- actually wikileaks would be an ideal place to leak this stuff if one had access and the intention. fact is lots was kept secret about that dayDodecahedron

Sure, but the "coverup" could simply mean covering up embarrassing government incompetence (or perhaps, something worse like authorizing the shootdown of the third plane). But I don't think that's the implication when people talk about the 9/11 truth movement - they seem to have jumped to the conclusion that 9/11 was planned and executed by the U.S. gov specifically to launch the Afghan and Iraq wars. Which doesn't even seem like the kind of thing you can prove based on reconstructing the events of what happened that day IMO.
Anyway, sorry for the digression...back to Wikileaks:D
- I don't think the documents would prove anything either but they would be used for real investigationDodecahedron

The United States is pleased to announce that it will host UNESCO’s World Press Freedom Day event in 2011, from May 1 - May 3 in Washington, D.C. UNESCO is the only UN agency with the mandate to promote freedom of expression and its corollary, freedom of the press.
The theme for next year’s commemoration will be 21st Century Media: New Frontiers, New Barriers. The United States places technology and innovation at the forefront of its diplomatic and development efforts. New media has empowered citizens around the world to report on their circumstances, express opinions on world events, and exchange information in environments sometimes hostile to such exercises of individuals’ right to freedom of expression. At the same time, we are concerned about the determination of some governments to censor and silence individuals, and to restrict the free flow of information.

The US Government is heading increasingly towards a crisis of legitimacy. Part of this is because the Republican party has been trying and mostly succeeding for thirty years to make the public distrust government for it's own gain. The Democrats have done an amazing job at selling out the core beneficiaries (and it's base) of populist government policies of the 20th century to compete. Meanwhile corporations and internal government bureaucracies (i.e. The Pentagon & The Fed) have grown so far beyond their primary roles to capture crucial elements of the State. It's coming to a head. Bush's presidency was the first contraction, the economic implosion the second, this wikileaks situation? It's the robes being pulled off. It's showing in utterly bald faced realty how the media and the government are acting in utter collusion (a trend aimed at since the end of the Vietnam War). The idea of a working "fourth estate", once vital to American model of Democracy, is utterly dead. The rise again to the top of the heap of the Tea Party ( a modern Know-Nothing Party) only points out how utterly bankrupt the whole thing is - that a leader of that movement, a failed governor & VP candidate from a third tier State can so misunderstand the primary Amendment of the US Constitution and blatantly call out for the assassination of the citizen of another nation and still be considered "serious" by the media is a tell, as well as so many other things dropping at the moment.
I'm utterly convinced the US is done, in terms of it's historical mission. One hopes that the idea of freedom, enlightened republican democracy and the role of the individual do not die with it. The future will not be happening here. And as I said in the opening sentence, the whole thing is heading for a serious crisis of legitimacy unknown since the Civil War.
Wikileaks IMHO isn't the straw that broke the back of this faltering camel, but it's the straw before the last straw methinks.

"player", "dirtbag", "rapist"? Wow. Character Assassinate much?
And this coming from a former bankrupt suicidal drug addict.
Again - he fact that real people with power are going after Assange and leaving Beck alone tells you all you need to know about any "truth" coming out of Fox. Beck is a mouthpiece. Stick that on your blackboard, asshat.

Clearly the freedom-loving, small government thing to do is to censor the guy and lock him up. Or assassinate him.

In what may prove a particularly incendiary cable, US diplomats describe a world of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll behind the official pieties of Saudi Arabian royalty.
Jeddah consulate officials described an underground Halloween party, thrown last year by a member of the royal family, which broke all the country's Islamic taboos. Liquor and prostitutes were present in abundance, according to leaked dispatches, behind the heavily-guarded villa gates.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, jailed in Britain this week, has told media contacts he has a large cache of U.S. government reports about inmates at the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, known as GITMO, the last of four major tranches of U.S. government documents which WikiLeaks had acquired and at some point would make public.
"He's got the personal files of every prisoner in GITMO," said one person who was in contact with Assange earlier this year.
