WikiLeaks on Syria

This is a new era of leaking. Hacking and poor info security has allowed a endless stream of cool classified info to become public. The elites have struck back and driven prominent whistle-blowers into exile and prison but their greatest assets against the leakers is the flood of pointless news and propaganda that simply drowns out real information.

Here is an article that rises above the flood to take 5 vital leaks about Syria and compile them in one article. Four of documents are from Wikileak releases (from Hillary Clinton, State Department, Stratfor and Saudi emails) plus one declassified Pentagon intelligence report.

There was nothing I had not seen before but it was encouraging to see them all together and properly sourced, and it made me aware of how important these leaks were to fighting the 'we must destroy Syria to save it' war propaganda.

Info leaking is a black art that often takes place in the deep shadows where it is very easy to plant false info. But leaks are a vital tool of democracy with a long noble tradition. So use caution while still cherishing these vital peaks behind the curtains.
