Here are some other sources supporting the topics discussed at the day 11, of which I wasn't aware until reading the report:
https://www.salon.com/2010/11/29/wikileaks_germany_el_masri/ https://www.salon.com/2010/11/29/wikileaks_germany_el_masri/
"A top U.S. diplomat strongly warned German counterparts against issuing arrest warrants for CIA agents who were involved in the kidnapping of a German citizen, who was brought to Afghanistan and tortured before officials concluded that they had the wrong man."
From the diplomatic cable, published by Wikileaks, we can see that the US is actually threatening Germany while at the same time writing:
"our intention was not to threaten Germany, but rather to urge that the German Government weigh carefully at every step of the way the implications for relations with the U.S."
To paraphrase James Mickens, it seems if the USA threatens your country, "they’re going to hold a press conference and say
“It wasn’t us” as they wear t-shirts that say “IT WAS DEFINITELY US.”"
After seeing the posts each day trying simply to discredit the author of the reports instead of claiming that there's any inaccuracy in what he reports, everybody should consider that maybe there are some people who would rather that nobody reads about all the topics brought up there.
And there are many very interesting topics indeed. I advise anybody taking the time and going through the previous days too. The author of the report claims that it is officially for him not allowed to post the links to the written statements of the witnesses of the defense.
Reading his reports is insightful, and I'm not aware of anybody doing more thorough reporting now.
- jacobush 6y agoWhat I find most concerning is, where are all the "normal" reporters - and I don't mean the unicorn unbiased ones, but regular, biased but not actively pushing their fringe ideas. (I mean, it's ok to have fringe ideas. But if you are pushing them without having much to back them up with, and at the same time acting as a reporter, lets just say I wish we had more to choose from.)
- acqq 6y agoCan you name any "fringe" idea in his 11 days of reports, that he claimed himself? As in, not supported by other sources, or that weren't said directly by somebody else? I haven't noticed a single one. For example, it's obvious that the judge actively did everything they can to limit the chance that the case gets proper coverage in the press.
