Wikileaks a plot to create more control over the internet?

One of the most common memes. The Reichstag Fire. Whenever anything bad happens it is attributed to the government. That is what happened with the collapse of the WTC and that is what the OP is suggesting. This is all a churlish plot by the government to deprive us of our liberties.

No. You're working under the false assumption that the US government would have to justify anything it does. The powers that be would never embarrass themselves like this. Their objective is control and all this does is undermine them.

Now, will they try use this to have tighter control of the internet? Hell yes they will. But it's not logical to believe this was a CIA/Mossad/NWO/whatever plot.

The way I see it, if the public is so stupid to let that happen, they don't deserve the Internet. So, whatever.

The public is stupid enough to let anything happen; including *insert Godwin's Law* so I'd rather not look at that as the measuring stick for something that affects myself, as well.

Looks like wikileaks has vindicated Bush's decision to go into Iraq.

And people can claim the uranium was old all they want, it was still Uranium and thus still radioactive.

Wired magazine's contributing editor Noah Shachtman -- a nonresident fellow at the liberal Brookings Institution -- researched the 400,000 WikiLeaked documents released in October. Here's what he found: "By late 2003, even the Bush White House's staunchest defenders were starting to give up on the idea that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But WikiLeaks' newly-released Iraq war documents reveal that for years afterward, U.S. troops continued to find chemical weapons labs, encounter insurgent specialists in toxins and uncover weapons of mass destruction (emphasis added). ... Chemical weapons, especially, did not vanish from the Iraqi battlefield. Remnants of Saddam's toxic arsenal, largely destroyed after the Gulf War, remained. Jihadists, insurgents and foreign (possibly Iranian) agitators turned to these stockpiles during the Iraq conflict -- and may have brewed up their own deadly agents."

Guessing George W. Bush is going to get an approval rating boost from this.

yeah! there were TOTALLY wmds in iraq! the government just didn't want anyone to find out because then we'd believe that the government was telling the truth about there being wmds in iraq!
