computer's why pirates are strong and impregnable

Today, December 15
World War III has broken out and we realized? Since November 28, Wikileaks has begun to unravel the secret cable sent to 251,000 in recent years from U.S. diplomats around the world, a ruckus breaks out every day. Why, very cleverly, the followers of Julian Assange decided to sip the revelations. The last, which caused great consternation in the Vatican, of the Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, the Pope's number two, described as "inadequate" by American diplomats. But many other embarrassing secrets come to light in the coming weeks: suffice it to say that so far have just been published in the 1340 quarter of a million documents in the possession of pirates.
"as dangerous as Osama"
How does Wikileaks? And who is behind these "warriors of transparency" that the Foreign Minister Franco Frattini has called "as dangerous as Osama Bin Laden"? Incidentally, just as Al Qaeda, the structure of Wikileaks is decentralized. Deceive themselves, and those who think incarcerating the head lock, Assange, physically or closing the computer. The two servers hosted in Stockholm fallout bunker in the company PRQ, in fact, are only a drop in the ocean of the internet.
Some of our newscasts showed them, posing as the "brain" of Wikileaks. But it's just sensationalism. That same company, in fact, is home to 8 thousand other server. And Wikileaks can count on hundreds of "mirror sites" which function as soon as they enter automatically turns off one. The same Assange warned: "Hundreds of militants, besides me, have the entire file of 251 000 documents, and release it if something were to happen to me."
"explosive"
But what is the real value of these secret documents? It is true that rewrite the history of contemporary art, or only one left of newspaper articles copied from lazy in charge of affairs in the embassies? In some cases the content is explosive, and so it 'just the comparison with a world war. But not the third: that has already been won by the West against communism in 1989. And even the fourth, which began in 2001 with the attack on the Twin Towers twins by Islamic fanatics, and still in progress. This is the fifth or sixth, along with other major conflict of our time: that between the free world and China.
Wikileaks But the boys are western, and then call it a civil war, even though non-violent. It is an internal conflict democracies, including those who think that our states are to keep secrets, and those who want to expose everything.
not forget that one of the founders of Wikileaks, in October 2006, there are also important Chinese dissident Wang Dan, a student leader in Beijing's Tiananmen Square massacre in '89, and Xiao Qiang. Initially, therefore, the intent of Assange and associates was quello di smascherare i segreti di tutti i governi. Ed è ovvio che le dittature ne hanno molti di più, e più sanguinosi, dei regimi democratici.
Perché, allora, quasi tutte le rivelazioni finora riguardano gli Stati Uniti? Prima ci fu il filmato in cui si vedono le truppe Nato uccidere un giornalista in Afghanistan. Poi, l’estate scorsa, i documenti del Pentagono con l’ammissione ufficiale di avere ammazzato 60 mila civili innocenti nella guerra d’Iraq. E se dietro Wikileaks ci fosse la Cina o la Russia, o qualche altro avversario degli Usa?
Non credo che gli hackers di Wikileaks siano manipolati. Politicamente sono anarchici che si battono contro il potere a 360 gradi. Hanno già preannunciato rivelazioni sulle grandi banche. E se avessero documenti segreti cinesi sulla repressione in Tibet o contro Falun Gong, non esiterebbero a divulgarli. Il problema è che finora non c’è stato nessun funzionario pentito di Pechino che gliel’ha passati.
Sì, perché in realtà Wikileaks non ha mai rubato alcun documento. Si limita, come da statuto, a pubblicare, dopo averli verificati, quelli in arrivo (gratis) da persone che per un qualsiasi motivo decidono di tradire il vincolo di segretezza che li lega all’organizzazione per cui lavorano. Quindi, il vero colpevole dell’attuale terremoto è il soldato americano 22enne che ha passato i files ad Assange, e che è in carcere per spionaggio.
Giuridicamente, Wikileaks è colpevole di un unico reato: ricettazione. Magari di ricettazione attiva, o di istigazione al furto e allo spionaggio, perché invita pubblicamente i dipendenti pentiti a rivelare le magagne della propria azienda, o ministero. E si può immaginare quanti siano coloro disposti a farlo, magari per vendicarsi di essere stati licenziati, o frustrati per una mancata promozione o aumento di stipendio... E sapere che c’è lì Wikileaks pronta a fare giustizia rappresenta un incentivo formidabile.
Coinvolgere i principali giornali mondiali è stata la mossa più intelligente di Assange. Li ha coinvolti - ed è preoccupante che ce ne sia uno spagnolo, El Pais, ma nessuno italiano - ottenendo veracity of such a license that would not have been alone. He also placed against each other, dividing equally the material. So, by the law of competition, no one wanted to censor part or not to publish: it someone else would.
The director of the New York Times Bill Keller showed the documents to the U.S. government before posting, and deleted a few names. The NY Times is the most exposed, because it is the only American newspaper. But, by the principals, I would not be surprised if behind the leak of the most impressive in history there was any Republican who wants to damage Obama and Hillary Clinton.
