Having already released what was by far the largest single collection of classified war documents in history, WikiLeaks says they are poised to top that with their next release, which will be seven times larger than this.
“The coming months will see a new world, where global history is redefined,” WikiLeaks noted in a twitter release. The Iraq release was nearly 400,000 files, meaning the next release would include somewhere in the realm of three million files.
Exactly what these files would contain is a matter of no small measure of speculation, but the latest speculation has been around the State Department cables the organization is said to have in their possession.
WikiLeaks’ ability to obtain large numbers of classified documents and publish them has turned the organization from one of many relatively anonymous whistleblowers into a global powerhouse, and one with a number of powerful enemies. The group’s releases have proven severely embarrassing to the US military on a number of occasions, providing evidence that the military had been lying about the situation in Afghanistan and had been ordering troops to cover up torture in Iraq.
Yaa wanna know what it is that we really want….?????? It's 911 truths………………….
Surely they didn't think that Assange was going to go down with a whimper.
I believe they did. Intimidation worked on the New York Times, CNN and the rest of the clownish American media so I bet they figured why not just bluster and threaten Julian? It must be a shock to them that he's standing up the biggest bully in the world.
Bring 'em on!
I just hope that they are not blackening the names.

"The group’s releases have proven severely embarrassing to the US military on a number of occasions, providing evidence that the military had been lying about the situation in Afghanistan and had been ordering troops to cover up torture in Iraq."
If they consisted of decent people, they would be embarrased even if evidence was not presented. So you have a homegrown organization, that harbours terrorists? Well then, demand of them to extinguish themselves!
Right on, Julian. Stick it to the fascists and expose them for the amoral, evil-doers that they are.
The group is exposing a bunch of amoral evil-doing fascists. More power to them
Fascists deserve to be exposed for their evil deeds
What is the reason for Assante to advertise in advance the magnitude of WikiLeaks next whistle blower data dump? Is his ego that large? I would think that his announcement will only force the authorities to redouble their efforts to either assassinate him or arrest him on some trumped up charges before that data is released.
That said, perhaps the new revelations will shed some light on what really happened on 9/11 and thus fully discredit the official conspiracy theory. Or perhaps they will expand on what Sibel Edmonds had uncovered during her employment as a FBI translator. Or better yet they will tie the true events of 9/11 to Sibel's explosive findings.
Strange MetaCynic, how Ann's Mican' s comment gets five thumbs up…?? And yours gets ZERO, except the one I clicked just as I wrote this…?? Is it because M.C. mentioned 911…?? But Mega Cynic actually lays out a plausible progression of inquiry which could debunk large chunks of the phony war on terror…… which our government uses as an excuse to double defense appropriations and……… VOID THE CONSTITUTION…..!!!!!! It seems to me that M.C. is thinking, resisting….searching for an OUT from the war and the lies…… While Ann is only screaming at them………. However, whatever the comparison may be,………. five to zero as it was when I noticed the disparity seems extreme and somewhat brain dead …. Who are these posters who gave five thumbs up to Ann…….BUT gave Mega Synic nothing….??? PLEASE, Someone.. EXPLAIN it to me
Three million docs!!! YEE-HAAA!!!!! (Yep, Scott, I got to say it first this time.)
But the MSM will, once again, deny that this reveals anything new. But your right, Ann. They are "exposing a bunch of amoral evil-doing fascists". Sort of like The White Rose. Check it out at: http://www.fff.org/freedom/0196a.asp
Freedom!!!
Now that the "O" hope has turned out to be hype, the Wikileaks Jullian Assange show now has all of MY dashed "O" hope…..Le'st git rid of that embarrassing B.O. with New Clean Smelling JA Spray!! It makes all of those bad executive orders float away…………..
We are sure are all looking forward to it. Wikileak the best that can happen to inform an UNinformed and deceived public.
