Thanks. That makes things much more interesting. From what I understand, some period of weeks passed from the time Manning (over a period of some time) downloaded the classified materials, to the time that he was arrested.
If Assange has information about the BP disaster, there almost certainly has to be another leak other than Manning given the timing of events. I'm not sure anyone has said this, at least not publicly.
Or it could have to do with the Lockerbie bomber deal.
I thought the same. We'll have to see what transpires in regards to any future divulgement of information and the dates to which it pertains. That should make it pretty clear that there is at least one other person involved in this dirty work.
Maybe it's communications between BP and the Obama administration regarding a staged accident to help Obama get legislation, perhaps Cap and Tax, passed.
BP was on board with Cap & Tax. They were going to make a lot of money if that had passed.
