in the summer of twenty ten a song together the circle of accredited journalists for wiki leaks these people were supposed to get the news before it would appear on the site by doing this the songs wanted to secure the leaks and give them greater exposure. the first russian publication to disclose wiki leaks data was the magazine russian reporter of the same time other magazines and newspapers had also received such invitations but decided against getting involved in wiki leaks risky business. and that it is clearly the newspapers running a triple risk first they may have suspected that they might get involved in somebodies gamble considering that the material had not been properly assessed second they may have had their doubts about how that would affect relations with the us embassy and third they may have been worried by the uncertain prospect of relations with the russian leadership of his profile in syria which chiefly concerned russia was published by russian journalists in parallel with the site the first weeks or a record number of visitors people were hungry for a sensational

they need to be exposed during the first few years of wiki leaks the resource was treated as a project created by internet fringes we can leaks lives off donations but they were inconsistent at the time. or twenty years we or one and a half years we tried to build up we can exist as a project we published a lot of documents and tried to get funding and it was allowed very difficult so we have all put in our private funding into the project and tried to sustain it didn't work out so well at least not an infinite amount of time. this is nuclear shelter you built during the second world war and modernized during the cold war so we have reconstructed it would take us authors of welcoming are unable to show you the facility this bunker in stockholm was built to protect swedish army personnel from a nuclear attack telltale reminders of its original purpose can be seen all over the place. or digitally this type was actually in submarines and so the or german submarines from the beginning and the alarm in case of trouble the alarm starts alarm is actually. today behind a nice thick walls and h

brought wiki leaks the wiki leaks domain online and went offline during the hectic week of information was. similar projects have been launched around the world including russia. most people in russia don't speak english that's why we wanted to make wiki leaks documents available to all russians online so we set about spotting reports of interest to people living in russia and countries of the commonwealth of independent states such reporters are either fed to translation web sites where the people themselves translate them after receiving them via email russian pirates of launch the similar site called leaks in largely mimics what assumptions been doing it with the leaks a few leaks have already been made public. i thought a lot of informers will post their reports on the internet site we will know absolutely nothing about them we see the whole thing as a black box churning out documents from time to time but there's also a big question though is how are they going to send their stuff. recently in the summer of twenty ten a song together the circle of accredited journalists for wiki l

after his rift with the sound verb wrote a book titled inside wiki leaks and launched his own web site called open leaks but begs site is different it will operate according to the black box principle the website will receive material from anonymous informers but will dispatch them to traditional media outlets for further publication it will be impossible to enter the website and read the information first hand. everything is simple and transparent peg wants to get spy schemes publicity and the south advertising which is sound seems to like so much this image as what julian wants to create because it characterizes. the. somewhere between the hacker and freedom of information and the james bond of modern times and this is very appealing you know this is what people think they should donate so this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the project because it has become more about this all claims. then all the actual informational. that there. was that. the ministration was introduced to the old universities and after the revolution the students didn't have time to attend classes in t

now in the wake of wiki leaks one upping every news organization on the planet with a large trove of classified information they receive the major newspapers are trying to cut them out of the picture as we've told you before on this show the new york times and the guardian have been working on creating their own leaking sites and yesterday rupert murdoch owned the rupert murdoch owned wall street journal launched their own leaking website called safe house but is this going to be enough to cut out wiki leaks to inspire whistleblowers to come to their site instead it doesn't seem so if you look at the fine print in the wall street journal's terms of conditions those leakers who choose to remain anonymous must first enter into a confidentiality agreement that states that any information sent to the journal can be used in any purpose as in they hold the right to disclose any information about the leaker to law enforcement authorities without notice in order to comply with laws and safe house leakers have to agree not to use the service for any unlawful purpose so does this has destroyed

if australia views a scientist work with wiki leaks as a noble act especially when the whistleblowing site released a treasure trove of data of two hundred fifty thousand diplomatic cables now the sydney peace foundation's director pointed fingers at the us government saying that he is appalled by the violent behavior of major politicians in america and just to put it on a perspective for you the gold medals also been awarded to individuals like nelson mandela and the dalai lama in the past so let's just compare that phrase in london and in australia to the reputation that julian assange has on the other side of the ocean here in the us politicians are calling him a terrorist because of massive job of government secrets puts the country at risk in fact many are speculating that it's on his extradition to sweden will be followed by a journey to the us and i think we all know that he's going to be greeted with handcuffs before he is with medals we should also remind you about the secret grand jury that's being formed in alexandria virginia although very little is known about this case m

their guantanamo information why has wiki leaks released it now i mean it seems to sort of sort of to be to be off to the fact is it because obama has recently announced his we're election campaign and obviously closing guantanamo was one of his main election promises but was a number of reasons why we've released it now. the primary one is that we are a small organisation very committed one and last year we came into it was extraordinary attack all these things continue to go on and so they really don't on down their ability to move quickly what we think and the timing is good obama has given up on closing guantanamo i just decided to reopen the drop prices and we now have a situation where even the. ministration says that forty eight of these people. are completely innocent and they should be sent back and they're not going to forget so completely innocent people incarcerated for years and years no trial and no hope nobody will know no country route greta i was reading the fate of united states had made its problem. in nine states with an evolving rounding up these innocent people s
