News Briefs – Volume XVIII
News briefs are a collection of interesting news stories…
Brief 1: I have been somewhat angry at the folks who run the WikiLeaks website as they have repeatedly released classified military documents of the United States. I am all for daylight, but it seems that these folks care very little for the troops that may be affected (and by affected I mean killed) because of the information contained in the data dumps. A recent story suggests that the WikiLeaks people are contemplating a similar dump of documents from the Russian government. The Time Magazine writer coyly suggests that the “Russian reaction will not be as reserved as America’s.” Duh! It will be interesting to see if the WikiLeakers have the stones to take on Russia. They might just end up on the wrong end of a ricin-tipped umbrella.
