Wikileaks Founder Advised To Avoid American Gov't 632
eldavojohn writes "Media darling Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, has been told by his lawyers to avoid the United States on the grounds that the US military would like to ask him a few questions about his source of the Collateral Murder video. Assange claims to be holding yet more video (of a US attack on a village that allegedly killed 140 civilians in May of 2009), as well as a quarter million sensitive cables relating to the current foreign war operations from the US State Department. Assange surfaced for the cameras in Brussels while speaking about the need for the freedom of information. Can he build a high enough profile to protect himself from danger?"

Evidently, my point is somewhere you are not.
In what world does an oil spill in the Gulf cause starvation and deprivation in Africa, the Middle East, Mexico, etc.? Last I checked, regional warlords, backwards traditions and culture, totalitarian states, and the like tend to cause such symptoms.
