Hey I saw your comment.  You want me to put it up as a thread? 

 

Hijacking to address Charles:

Your assertion that it is “bad analysis” to say Wikileaks played a key role in this revolt in Tunisia is nonsense. You had absolutely no idea what was going on in the country during the past two weeks, while we were sending out press releases, writing articles, distributing software to Tunisians in order to protect them from government phishing, and otherwise getting off our asses and doing something about this. I myself spoke to al-Jazeera about it a week ago and so did other Anons. You come in late to the game, led by the nose of the media, and start throwing out opinions without any backing. Wikileaks not only helped to provide further information to Tunisians but also assisted in getting others elsewhere to pay attention and bring pressure to bear. We knocked out the government’s websites before evening announcing OpTunisia and took over another, which was replaced with a message to the Tunisian people expressing support and backing. You have no role in this whatsoever, nor do you have the knowledge necessary to make any such assessment.
