WikiLeaks is coming under attack from all sides. The U.S. government and embassies around the world are criticizing the whistleblowing group for releasing a massive trove of secret state department cables. The WikiLeaks website is struggling to stay online just days after Amazon pulled the site from its servers following political pressure. The U.S. State Department has blocked all its employees from accessing the site and is warning all government employees not to read the cables, even at home. "These attacks will not stop our mission, but should be setting off alarm bells about the rule of law in the United States," said WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange.
The independent TV/radio news program Democracy Now! hosts a debate between Steven Aftergood, a transparency advocate who has become a leading critic of WikiLeaks and Glenn Greenwald, a constitutional law attorney and legal blogger for Salon.com.

Ao lado da Amy Goodman (editora do Democracy Now), Glenn Greenwald tem sido uma das vozes dissonantes na imprensa norte-americana sobre Wikileaks. Ativista político, escritor (colunista do site Salon.com) e advogado constitucionalista norte-americano, Greenwald é um dos mais destacados analistas sobre o cablegate. Desnecessário dizer em quantos pontos sensíveis a divulgação do wikileaks acabou tocando. Política externa norte-americana, o direito a livre expressão, as articulações entre poder econômico e político nos EUA etc. É uma excelente oportunidade para um debate qualificado. Além de tudo, Greenwald já é fluente em português. Estão todos convocados para próxima quarta-feira, dia 15, às 14h, no IESP.
Rua da Matriz, 82, Botafogo

"Os meios de comunicação de massa (...) Têm o poder de determinar a opinião pública e, quando em discordância com o estado, subordiná-lo a seus próprios interesses. Constroem as regras do jogo. E o jogo. Têm autonomia sagrada de funcionamento e funcionam de acordo com o lucro e poder. Operam a dominação a partir de duas coordenadas: a Cultural, na reprodução dos valores, modos de vida, preconceitos; e a política, cotidianamente alterada através da informação” - Wanderlynne Selva
