Thread: WikiLeaks Defector Publishes Book On The Organization

"Daniel Domscheit-Berg was the WikiLeaks spokesman and Assange’s right-hand man until he publicly broke with his former boss last September. He appears to have immediately started writing a book, not so much to set the record straight—no matter how this book is billed, it’s certainly not a tell-all—but to save what he feels is precious. (This shouldn’t put readers off; though written in haste, “Inside WikiLeaks” is a fine, intelligent read.) Domscheit-Berg writes that the organization has lost its way and betrayed its principles, and that, because it went astray, he and another employee deliberately crippled it."

I was quasi suspicious at first myself and still not convinced of who is shelling this corn. However I am quite titillated by the knowledge that the emperor is really strutting around buck naked.

I don't know what this says, I mean do we enjoy being fooled if its interesting?

I really don't know, I do think I know that the hacker mentality is different from 'corporate think' and this may be a reason for it to succeed if indeed this is a genuine thing.
