Anonymous Wikileaks activists move to analogue tactics
The diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks have been the focus of world attention. Online activist group Anonymous has once again changed tactics in its campaign to support Wikileaks, eschewing web-based attacks. At least one faction of the group has urged supporters to plaster the streets with pro-Wikileaks propaganda on 18 December.

U.S. Tries to Build Case for Conspiracy by WikiLeaks (Published 2010)
U.S. Tries to Build Case for Conspiracy by WikiLeaks WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors, seeking to build a case against the WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange for his role in a huge dissemination of classified government documents, are looking for evidence of any collusion in his early contacts with an Army intelligence analyst suspected of leaking the information. Justice Department officials are try
Breaking the Silence Publishes the Most Important Book of the Year on Israel/Palestine
Breaking the Silence Publishes the Most Important Book of the Year on Israel/Palestine The Israeli NGO "Breaking the Silence," composed of IDF veterans who record soldiers' testimonies about their behavior toward the civilian population of the Occupied Territories, has published the most important book of the year on Israel/Palestine* – a mammoth volume that makes Wikileaks's disclosures and the N
Jon Savage on song: The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead is an anthem for our times
Eighteen seconds in, a high-pitched drone begins. For the next six or so minutes, it does not stop. Segueing between the sampled intro – a snatch of Cicely Courtneidge singing Take Me Back to Dear Old Blighty – and the entry of the group themselves, this subtly modulating guitar feedback is both a formal device, to bridge the song's various changes, and a statement of intent: this is serious, this
Kosovo 'crime ring': police to examine allegations against PM Hashim Thaçi
Kosovo's EU-sponsored police force said today it would examine allegations that the country's prime minister is the head of a "mafia-like" criminal network linked to organ trafficking. Hashim Thaçi's government denounced the findings of a Council of Europe investigation into organised crime in the country as "slanderous". The Guardian understands that if there is sufficient evidence against Thaçi

Do supporters of Nobel winner Liu Xiaobo really know what he stands for? | Barry Sautman and Yan Hairong
In recent weeks, Nobel prizewinner Liu Xiaobo's politics have been reduced to a story of a heroic individual who upholds human rights and democracy. His views are largely omitted to avoid a discussion about them, resulting in a one-sided debate. Within three weeks, in Hong Kong, for example, more than 500 articles were published about Liu, of which only 10 were critical of the man or peace prize.
US air force blocks staff from websites carrying WikiLeaks cables
The US air force has blocked employees from accessing the websites of the Guardian, the New York Times and other news organisations carrying the WikiLeaks US embassy cables. At least 25 sites that have posted WikiLeaks files had been barred, said Major Toni Tones of the US air force's space command in Colorado. Tones said the action was taken in accordance with a policy that "routinely blocks air
Julian Assange offered bail haven at former soldier's Norfolk manor
For once, Assange was not the star at the afternoon bail hearing at Westminster magistrates' court. Dressed in a white shirt and blue suit, he watched the proceedings impassively. Instead the hero was Vaughan Smith, a former army officer, journalist adventurer and rightwing libertarian. For much of the past five months, until his arrest last week, Assange has been living at Smith's Frontline Club
Zuckerberg? Really?
Judging by my Twitter feed, Time has managed to tick off the entire Internet in selecting Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as its "person of the year" — the youngest to earn the title since Charles Lindbergh. The magazine’s rationale: "for connecting more than half a billion people and mapping the social relations among them; for creating a new system of exchanging information; and for changing ho
World rabbis denounce edict forbidding Jews from renting homes to Arabs
More than 900 rabbis from around the world have signed a letter expressing "great shock and pain" at a ruling backed by scores of Israeli rabbis forbidding Jews from renting or selling property to non-Jews. The letter describes the ruling as a "painful distortion of our tradition" and a "desecration of God's name" and appeals to Israeli rabbis to "take a public stand and oppose those who misrepres
Iran bombing: Profile of Sunni group Jundallah
The Iranian government says it has links to al-Qaida and has a separatist agenda; the rebel group itself – which is thought to have no more than 100 core members – has claimed to be fighting for equal rights in the overwhelmingly Shia Islamic republic. . According to some sources it has links to Pakistani intelligence. Not for the first time, Jundallah chose an important Shia religious holiday – A
