we find the name of the operation's main sponsor : Open Society; which is another name for George Soros... who is behind most "color revolutions"- That site appears to be merely reporting a relevant story? Who says that's the official site? Seems like you're trying to stick Soros in where Soros ain't.detritus

Regardless the root cause/purpose/intent of all this—
I am *very* glad to see that at least the idea or spirit of journalistic virtue is getting an inflation with this and the Snowden revelations.
It felt for a good 15 years there that Capital J Journalism was lying in the gutter with the crap beaten out of it by the internet and commercial pressures.
I hope this inspires our younger generations as I hope it inspires everyone who's become too accustomed to free media that there are perhaps things still worth sticking our hands in our pockets and actually paying for.

Meh. Like, really meh.
Not because I don't think this isn't scandalous in any way, I do.
The thing is everyone has known that the people at the top — politicians, business people, athletes, celebrities and so on — are crooked, exploitative, self-enriching cunts. If we didn't have the concrete proof before, the suspicion was so strong and so commonly found that it was de facto for all of us. Despite these strong (and well-founded) suspicions, it's not like people rose up en masse to overthrow the corruption and the ruling class, is it?
This leak will change nothing. It's just the confirmation of a long-held suspicion, and people will simply shrug their shoulders and say, 'Well, I was right', then carry on with whatever it was they were doing — all the while thinking there's nothing they can do, this is just how things go and no-one goes punished for it.
The WikiLeaks produced no results in the end, the NSA leaks barely caused a ripple after the initial outrage, and so on and so forth.
We're all so tired, beaten down and think we're all powerless that this will be a thing in the papers for a couple of weeks, there might be a couple of red faces, but nothing substantial or meaningful will come of it and it will die down and go away after the initial media blast.
Cynical? Fucking right I am.

I love this sort of thing, as finally people who are being greedy cunts can no longer safely do it in secret.
They will still do it, and there's still not a helluva lot that we can do.. but hopefully it will make the world a more transparent place!
War, terrorism, famine, gangs and many of the biggest problems in this world are root-caused by inequality and corrupt greed. This kind of thing should be followed by another, but better organised, Occupy movement and maybe we can actually start taking things back to the way they were.
