Julian Assange wins Sydney Peace Prize

[Outlaw Yogi]

Anyone care to tell me how the above relates to Julian Assange winning the Sydney Peace Prize??

Well for those with limited reasoning, it might not be obvious, but most recognise Assange opposed the duplicitous and nefarious antics of elitist officials via exposure rather than resorting to bullets and bombs. And so conducted his activities in a peaceful manner.

A similar example would be Nelson Mandella. He was gaoled for sabotage, and was refered to as a terrorist in South Africa. ANC were blowing up electrical supply towers to damage the apartheid regime economically, rather than executing opponents and risk justifying the regime's behaviour.
This is why Nelson Mandella won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Prophetic last words there, Yogi Bear, wank wank indeed:

WikiLeaks Threatens Its Own Leakers With $20 Million Penalty

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange now makes his associates sign a draconian nondisclosure agreement that, among other things, asserts that the organization’s huge trove of leaked material is “solely the property of WikiLeaks,” according to a report Wednesday.

“You accept and agree that the information disclosed, or to be disclosed to you pursuant to this agreement is, by its nature, valuable proprietary commercial information,” the agreement reads, “the misuse or unauthorized disclosure of which would be likely to cause us considerable damage.”

The confidentiality agreement (.pdf), revealed by the New Statesman, imposes a penalty of 12 million British pounds– nearly $20 million — on anyone responsible for a significant leak of the organization’s unpublished material. The figure is based on a “typical open-market valuation” of WikiLeaks’ collection, the agreement claims.

What a fucking hypocrite!

I say again, the one deserves the price is the yank soldier who copied all the cables onto removable media. Assange is just putting them on a website.
