market manipulation?...you jest i assume...and if not how is he involved with market manipulation ? please do tell ;^)
that aside...
i happened to watch the 60Minutes piece...
what is interesting is that our own government (through the Bush Administration) gave up Valerie Plame yet when Assange receives info from various sources, that can only be guilty of their own conscience and what is right...this government wants to nail him. the Bush Admin actually gives up a CIA agent and not one criminal charge is brought against any of the perpetrators.
and what is the the real crime...nothing...Wikileaks is embarrassing them and exposing the lies. opps ..my bad...alleged mis-representations.
what is happening is what can be summed up in this phrase;
"Do as I say, not as I do." - The US Government.
so it's fine and o.k. that this corrupt system can put in place the Patriot Act (just one example) on its own citizens under the premise of national security but when the table is turned and Toto pulls back the curtain on the Wizard of Oz (this government) then they call it a threat and terrorist,...
all that is happening is the internet has individuals that can level the lies that are perpetrated by actual documentation and that scares the bajebbies out of the authorities...
bottom line...the gig is up all and powerful Oz (US government)
