DDoS Attack On Wikileaks Increasing 919
tetrahedrassface writes "According to the Twitter feed for Wikileaks, the attack on the controversial site is increasing and is now at 10 Gigabits per second. In light of the recent release of highly sensitive documents and calls by many lawmakers around the world to swiftly find, extradite, and try suspected rapist Julius Assange for breaches of national security, one nation, Ecuador, has offered asylum."

I hope the CIA gets Assange. Telling people what their government does in secret and how they treat allied nations is a crime against Democracy. People vote better and make smarter decisions when they don't know the truth. Assange needs to realize that people must be protected against their own stupidity and that in order to protect Democracy we must take away people's freedom of choice.
Oh yeah, and he hurt the US of A while trying to expose their bad actions against other nations! How can anyone do that?? We're the USA, the good guys! Didn't he see enough Hollywood movies? Even if we seem wrong, we're actually serving the greater good but it's just hard to see the bigger picture! What a jerk! People who don't realize the USA are morally better than anyone else deserve to be shipped to Gitmo without a trial. Maybe Obama can order his assassination, this would be great because no trial is possible if the President gives that order so Assange would not get away from that.

At least isn't that what the government tells us?
The government also tells you to hide under your desk in the event of a nuclear attack.

It is very rare for multiple jesters to be as effective in a group setting than a talented hack working alone.

I think possible dog molester MBHkewl is right. Much as I disagree with MBHkewl's alleged disgusting lifestyle, I think it's possible, just possible, that we're seeing an obvious case of character assassination here. And I urge readers to overlook the fact that MBHkewl purportedly rapes innocent puppies long enough to consider that he may have a point.

No, the government tells you to hide under your desk in the event of a NUCULAR attack. Ain't the same.
