Reck B Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Two issued of types: DA-Notice 01: Military Operations, Plans & Capabilities DA-Notice 05: United Kingdom Security & Intelligence Special Services How does that work then? i presume the D Notice bans UK media reporting the leak, whatever that may be. Surely this action advertises the fact that there's something they don't want us to know and people will just check wikileaks anyway?It's all a bit silly, no? Or maybe they actually want everyone to find out? hmmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libspero Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Or maybe they actually want everyone to find out? hmmmmmm. It does scream.. LOOK OVER HERE!! What else can they do though? I reckon it's genuine. I also reckon it'll be embarrassing. Good, I'm bored of politicians being holier than thou. Too bad the media will take it all rather seriously and start demanding resignations and "answers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahoo Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 The clucking filthy barstewards pin the accusation of rape on the bloke and now want to suppress the population from accessing the truth. If the site is closed down - unlikely due to the way it is structured - we all need to be very very worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the site is closed down - unlikely due to the way it is structured - we all need to be very very worried. +1. Who in their right mind is going to believe the accusation of rape now? It just seems like a deliberate attempt to discredit and slur. The State Security Services need to come up with some new ideas. Im not one for gossips, but I will be interested to know whats in the documents. Although I suspect it will probably be a storm in a tea cup I mean how bad could it be? We already know that over 600,000 Innocent Iraqis were killed, 'accidentally' And that the Labour Government took us into the war illegally. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Tried to donate a tenner to Wikileaks, via their online link page: http://wikileaks.org...ia/support.html Clicked on option 4; PayPal via Wau Holland Foundation There is no United Kingdom listed.

Redcellar Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 It's pointless trying to ban or ask media not to print it in this country. The whole point of the leaks is about what ours and other governments said of foreign nations. It's the foreign nations that will take offence. It's a bit like asking your dad not to tell your mum what you wrote in your diary about the next door neighbour. She wouldn't care, but it's your neighbour that you don't want told because he will let the dog cr*p on the lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
