clippers remarks: Shenon asserted last week that the Pentagon is "desperately" searching for the founder of the whistleblower website Wikileaks, out of concern he is about to publish classified US State Department cables.

Youd better keep your head down Mr Assange, youre a marked man. Its not *healthy* to upset the war-mongering American Empire. Dont forget, that the US prez has granted himself powers to be the judge, jury and executioner of any person on the face of the planet, who he sees fit. Gods speed, Mr Assange.

Daniel Ellsberg: Wikileaks Founder Would Do Well To Keep His Whereabouts Unknown (VIDEO)

Speaking on Obamas record-setting pace of prosecuting whistleblowers, Ellsberg said, [..] he sees an "immediate parallel" between the Vietnam-era suppression of negative information about the war and the current U.S. restrictions on news coming out of the Middle East.

wikileaks collateral Update: Wikileaks confirms it has video of US massacre in Afghanistan

The whistleblower website that posted video of a US Army helicopter firing on unarmed civilians and killing two Reuters employees is ready to do it again, its founder says.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange says he has obtained video of a US "massacre" that took place in Afghanistan in 2009.

"The clip will show previously classified footage from US warplanes that had been tapped to bomb Taliban positions in Farah province, Afghanistan last year," the paper said. "The Afghan government said at the time that the strikes by F-18 and B1 planes near Garani killed 147 civilians. An independent Afghan inquiry later put the toll at 86."


Assange writes that ?we are still working on? preparations for release of the video of ?the Garani massacre.?

American officials have acknowledged in the past that they are concerned about the release of the Garani video, fearing that it could undermine public support for the American military campaign in Afghanistan

Taking A Human Toll Too

NEW ORLEANS ? On a normal night, Hong Le, a deckhand on a fishing boat, would be miles out on the water laying nets and lines to catch tuna. Instead, he lies awake in his rented room agonizing over the money he is not sending to his wife and children in Vietnam and the delay in his longtime dream of bringing them here, apparently dashed by the oil spill.


At each day passes, Mr. Le, 58, says he feels more hopeless. ?I just wait at home,? he said hollowly through an interpreter.


Beyond the environmental and economic damage, the toll of the mammoth spill in the Gulf of Mexico is being measured in hopelessness, anxiety, stress, anger, depression and even suicidal thoughts among those most affected, social workers say.


Catholic Charities reported this week that of the 9,800 people the counselors had approached since May 1 in Orleans, St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes, 1,593 were referred for counseling because of signs of depression.
