Some news you might have missed:
According to Wikileaks, the whistleblower, document leaking site, “The head of the BND (Bundesnachrichtendienst), Germany’s equivalent to the CIA, has threatened Wikileaks with ‘immediate criminal prosecution’ if it does not remove all "files or reports related to the BND". The spy chief claims to have already engaged the BND’s legal machinery.. . . The BND threats, made by President Ernst Uhrlau, were triggered by the Wikileaks publication of an article by Tom Burghardt, a US journalist, on the BND’s bungled Kosovo operation, together with a classified BND dossier on senior Kosovo figures from 2005–both of which were specifically named by Mr. Uhrlau.. . . The BND, like the CIA, is forbidden by law to engage in domestic activities. Yet the threats, which were made in German as well as in English, hold no legal power outside of Germany.” read more here.
If you are new to wikileaks it is worth the visit – the organizers have gone to lengths to protect people and get documents out that they believe are in the public interest to be made public, though their focus does not include North America or most of Europe they will post documents on issues around the world, and have, once again, caught the eye of some bigwigs.
