STOP THE WAR PUBLIC MEETING: RALLY IN SUPPORT OF WIKILEAKS Monday 7th February 7pmConway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London WC1 Speakers include Tariq Ali, Jemima Khan, Tony Benn, John Rees, Joe Glenton. Julian Assange, the director of Wikileaks, is in court facing extradition toSweden on 7th and 8th February. On the first evening of the hearing Stop theWar has organised a rally in his support. Many fear that Assange's extraditionto Sweden will mark the beginning of an extradition process to the US, where he could face years in jail. The documents revealed by Wikileaks have been the source of much informationwhich should have been in the public domain: the real figures for deaths inIraq and Afghanistan, the growing threats to Iran, the collusion between Bushand Blair, evidence of the helicopter attack in Iraq where Iraqis were gunneddown in cold blood, the spying on the UN. Governments around the world want to silence this information and those whohave obtained it. Hence the moves against Assange (even when there has been noformal charge against him in Swedish courts), and the imprisonment of former US soldier Bradley Manning who allegedly leaked the information in the firstplace. We are asking all members, supporters and groups: * to circulate details of the meeting with all their members * to organise stalls and street leafletting in London to mobilise for themeeting * to organise delegations to the meeting from across London and the surroundingareas * to raise support for Wikileaks with students and trade unions, and topublicise the meeting there * to publicise the meeting in other campaigns and events * to come to the meeting * to get messages of support Contact the Stop the War office if you can help in any of these ways: 0207 8012768, office@stopwar.org.uk -- To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank e-mail to stwc-unsubscribe@lists.riseup.net

Nothing has come out of Wikileaks about the US and Israel that the public did not know already. Most of it supports US foreign policy objectives.

The reporter with whom Assange worked at the New York Times is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

I agree with both the idea that wikileaks is controlled opposition and that their 'revelations' present an opportunity of sorts to engage those STW activists that remain in debating the implications of obvious bare faced 'conspiracies' exposed by wikileaks. If the wikileaks type conspiracies that we all knew all along are now exposed to be true, why not 9/11 and beyond? But don't hold your breath the STW/Socilaist worker/respect crowd are particularly subject to mind control and group think but i wish anyone with stamina to engage them all the luck in the world. Plant a few doubts in their smug minds
