Title: Cablegate
Post by: mac on 08-12-2010, 01:37:17
Ovo je majka svih cirkusa.

Stavljaću ovde linkove na depeše koje sadrže u sebi naše toponime (prvenstveno Serbia, Kosovo, i Belgrade). Ako neko primeti da je nešto izostalo (to jest odnosi se na nas, a nema jedno od ova tri imena) neka javi, da uključim i te ključne reči u pretragu. Mnogo ovoga ima, ali nije sve interesantno. Ako neko uoči nešto zanimljivo neka ostavi komentar. Meni je recimo zapala za oko depeša u čijem naslovu stoji YEMENI. Ime nekog Srbina je tu cenzurisano :-)

Ovo nije direktno vezano za kejblgejt ali jeste u širem smislu vezano za novi nivo whistleblowinga koga je WikiLeaks omogućio:

Former Swiss banker linked to WikiLeaks goes on trial  (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20110119/tts-uk-wikileaks-swiss-ca02f96.html)

QuoteFormer Swiss banker Rudolf Elmer admitted on Wednesday he sent private bank data to tax authorities as he went on trial for breaching bank secrecy, but denied threatening former employer Julius Baer. Skip related content


Elmer, 55, among the first to use WikiLeaks to publish private bank documents, said he took his information to the website after Swiss authorities failed to act on it.

"The ethics of business leadership on both sides of the Atlantic have disappointed me," he said.

Elmer said Baer waged a campaign of persecution against him and his family, and offered him 500,000 francs (325,000 pounds) to keep quiet.

He admitted writing emails in 2005 threatening to send client data to tax authorities and the media if Julius Baer did not stop unspecified actions against employees.

"We were under surveillance. The situation was very threatening. We were very scared and I thought the bank was behind it. That is why I sent the emails," he told the court.

Wearing a black suit and a red shirt, the one-time Julius Baer executive also admitted charges that he sent details of tax evasion to Swiss tax authorities.

But he denied charges that he made a bomb threat against the Zurich headquarters of his former employer, Julius Baer, threatened a Baer employee and tried to blackmail the bank.

Swiss lawyer Valentin Landmann, who recently made an unsuccessful appeal against the conviction of two other Swiss whistleblowers, said Elmer's case would turn on his intent.

"A lot could depend on whether the whistleblower is seen as acting altruistically or is motivated by profit," he said.

FACING JAIL

Prosecutors are asking for Elmer, who ran Baer's office in the Cayman Islands until he was fired by the bank in 2002, to be sentenced to an eight-month jail term and to pay a 2,000 Swiss franc fine. The hearing is expected to last one day.

Wednesday's case does not concern his publication of bank client data on WikiLeaks, but earlier alleged breaches of bank and corporate secrecy in Switzerland.

The trial in Zurich drew broad media attention and about a dozen protesters gathered in front of the court building.

Members from the left-wing Alternative Liste party held up a banner, saying: "They want to hang Rudi, they let Kaspar off the hook," in a reference to UBS chairman Kaspar Villiger.

Switzerland was forced last year to give details of about 4,450 accounts to U.S. authorities as part of a deal to settle a tax probe into the U.S. clients of UBS, its largest bank. None of its bankers were prosecuted in Switzerland.

"We think those who expose the distasteful side of Swiss finance need our support," said protester Walter Angst.

Elmer, a certified auditor who also worked at Credit Suisse and KPMG, has said Swiss bank secrecy should not be relevant, since the documents he leaked referred to accounts in Cayman.

On Monday, the banker handed over compact discs he said contained information on some 2,000 offshore banking clients to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at a media event in London.

Elmer helped put WikiLeaks in the spotlight after he used the site to leak secret data, prompting Julius Baer to launch a lawsuit against the website in 2008. It later dropped its bid to block the site after an outcry from free-speech advocates.

RECIPROCAL ACCUSATIONS

He declined to answer questions about his personal situation, including whether he and his wife were divorcing and where his 11-year-old daughter would live in that case. He also declined to comment on whether he was 50,000 francs in debt.

Julius Baer says that Elmer waged a "personal intimidation campaign and vendetta" and sought to discredit the bank and its customers after it refused his demands for financial compensation following his dismissal.

Swiss bank secrecy has come under global attack in recent years, with neighbouring Germany buying secret data from informants in its bid to track down tax evaders.

Another whistleblower, Bradley Birkenfeld, who helped expose widespread tax evasion involving UBS's wealthy American clients, is currently serving a 40-month prison term in Pennsylvania's federal prison for his role in setting up those accounts.

Julius Baer shares rose 1.5 percent by 10 a.m. British time, while UBS

and Credit Suisse eased, having underformed its two bigger rivals earlier this week.

Quote
By now, anyone with even a passing interest in the WikiLeaks phenomenon is familiar with most of the elements of its fall from grace: the rift between (http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/16/opinion/sifry-assange-ecuador/index.html) founder Julian Assange and early supporters over his autocratic and/or erratic behavior, the Swedish rape allegations that led to his seeking sanctuary in Ecuador (http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/22/us-wikileaks-assange-ecuador-idUSBRE87L02L20120822), a recent childish hoax the organization perpetrated (http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/jul/29/bill-keller-fake-column-wikileaks), and so on. Critics paint a picture of an organization that exists only in name, with a leadership vacuum and an increasingly fractured group of adherents. Despite its many flaws, however, there is still something worthwhile in what WikiLeaks has done, and theoretically continues to do. The bottom line is that we need something like a "stateless news organization," (http://archive.pressthink.org/2010/07/26/wikileaks_afghan.html) and so far it is the best candidate we have.
To some extent, WikiLeaks has always been as much myth as substance, and possibly even more so. The idea of a secretive group of information outlaws with servers located in Iceland or deep inside a Swedish mountain (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/gallery/2010/12/inside-the-bahnhof-bunker-home-of-wikileaks-servers.php?img=1), especially a group headed by a white-haired fellow right out of a spy novel, always seemed almost too good to be true. And anyone who has gotten close to the organization, from Icelandic MP Birgitta Jonsdottir — who helped edit the infamous Collateral Murder video (http://gigaom.com/2011/01/12/icelandic-mp-says-its-our-duty-to-fight-for-wikileaks/) showing a U.S. military attack on civilians in Iraq — to former New York Times executive editor Bill Keller, has found that the reality lacks a certain something (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/01/26/bill-keller-on-julian-assange-wikileaks-and-new-york-times-e-book.html) when compared to the myth.
The spotlight on Assange blinds us to the real issues As Glenn Greenwald noted in a post at The Guardian this week, much of what has been written about WikiLeaks over the past year has focused exclusively on Assange and the rape charges (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/aug/22/julian-assange-media-contempt) that Sweden is expected to level against him if and when he is ever handed over to that country. There has been little or no coverage — at least from the mainstream media — about the effects of the ongoing financial blockade of WikiLeaks (http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/oct/24/wikileaks-suspends-publishing) that was instituted last year by PayPal and Visa and MasterCard (which the organization is trying to get around by using the peer-to-peer money system known as Bitcoin (http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/08/20/wikileaks-bypasses-financial-blockade-with-bitcoin/)) or who might be behind the recent denial-of-service attacks on WikiLeaks that seem to have been orchestrated (http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/b94e110a-e636-11e1-bece-00144feab49a.html#axzz24TVFJWuZ) by U.S.-based sources. Why? Greenwald has a theory:
 
"There are several obvious reasons why Assange provokes such unhinged media contempt. The most obvious among them is competition: the resentment generated by watching someone outside their profession generate more critical scoops in a year than all other media outlets combined."
Whatever the reason, with Assange and his legal and personal problems hogging the spotlight, it's easy to lose sight of what WikiLeaks has accomplished (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/21/opinion/wikileaks-and-the-global-future-of-free-speech.html), whether because of or in spite of Assange's leadership (or possibly both). Whatever you think of the U.S. government or the U.S. military, the Collateral Murder video (http://www.collateralmurder.com/) was a groundbreaking moment in coverage of the country's activities in Iraq and by extension the rest of the Middle East, and the release of hundreds of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables was also a watershed event (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/11/cablegate-one-year-later-how-wikileaks-has-influenced-foreign-policy-journalism), even if the tangible effects of that document dump are difficult to quantify in political terms.
Would any of that information have come to light without WikiLeaks? Perhaps. And it's important to remember that WikiLeaks didn't come up with all of those documents on its own — they were delivered to it by the original leaker, who may or may not be former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning, the man the government has been holding in a military prison for more than two years (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/aug/10/bradley-manning-military-code-lawyer) without a trial on accusations of espionage.
A former colleague of mine, the Globe and Mail's European correspondent Doug Saunders, has argued that WikiLeaks was no more than a virtual "brown envelope" (http://gigaom.com/2010/07/29/is-wikileaks-more-than-just-a-high-tech-brown-envelope-yes/) for the data that Manning (or whoever it was) came up with, a simple mechanism for distributing the leaks, in the same way that Deep Throat handed over documents to the Washington Post's Watergate team in a parking garage. In other words, there shouldn't be any more attention paid to WikiLeaks than there was to the U.S. postal system or to parking garages. But is that true, or does WikiLeaks represent a significant shift in the global flow of information?
We need a stateless news organization, however flawed (https://www.znaksagite.com/diskusije/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fgigaom2.files.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F12%2Fjulianassange.jpg%3Fw%3D178%26amp%3Bh%3D140&hash=9a02c45f5095f2c54cfb8577e370286e1e8803eb) (http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/julianassange.jpg)
I think it's the latter (http://gigaom.com/2010/07/29/is-wikileaks-more-than-just-a-high-tech-brown-envelope-yes/). It's true that WikiLeaks has used publications like the New York Times and The Guardian and Die Zeit to help it sift through and publicize the information that has come out of the leaks it acquired — but that was as much about marketing as anything else. The reality is that WikiLeaks is a publisher, and a radically new variation on the species: one that has no state affiliation, either express or implied, as journalism professor Jay Rosen suggested when he called it the world's first "stateless news organization." (http://archive.pressthink.org/2010/07/26/wikileaks_afghan.html) In a world where even the New York Times fails to discharge its duty properly during events like the coverage of the Iraq war, such an entity is more important than ever.
WikiLeaks has also spawned a kind of mini-explosion of imitators, including leak dumps that are devoted to environmental data, or information about the corrupt political system in the Balkans, or about dozens of other topics. As a recent piece at Radio Free Europe pointed out, many of these have either failed or are in a state of disrepair for a variety of reasons (http://www.rferl.org/content/with-wikileaks-on-ice-what-has-happened-to-all-those-digital-whistleblowers/24686710.html) (not least of which is the fact that running an anonymous document archive that can't be traced or hacked into is exceedingly difficult), and the most famous of all — OpenLeaks, which was set up by former WikiLeaks insider Daniel Domscheit-Berg — is still mostly nonfunctional (http://openleaks.org/content/news.shtml).
As flawed as they might be, however, they continue to exist. And the example set by WikiLeaks can be seen even in smaller incidents, like the recent "document dump" that Gawker provided (http://gawker.com/5936394/) of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's financial records. While there may be no smoking gun in those files, just the fact that they have been made public has changed the game to some extent, and will likely encourage more of the same.
It's worth noting that even those who have had a falling out with Julian Assange or WikiLeaks, including both Jonsdottir (http://gigaom.com/2011/01/12/icelandic-mp-says-its-our-duty-to-fight-for-wikileaks/) and the NYT's Keller, have repeatedly said that the organization and its mercurial founder need to be supported, in the interests of freedom of speech. Keller said in an email to me recently (http://gigaom.com/2012/07/25/the-nyts-bill-keller-on-why-we-should-defend-wikileaks/) that whatever we may think of Assange or his organization, it is a journalistic outlet or entity just as the New York Times or any other newspaper is — and we should be just as protective of its right to free speech and a free press.
That is the true legacy of WikiLeaks: flawed or not, mythical or substantive, it is an engine of free speech and free information, and as such it is worth defending, whatever we might think of its leader.
