From Counterpunch
Although we are treated to daily accounts of how the net tightens around Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, the contents of the US embassy cables have been doled out to us in spoonfuls. To add insult to injury, it is now clear that The Guardian edits and distorts the cables in order to protect their readers from unflattering remarks about how their corporations behave overseas. The Guardian has deliberately excised portions of published cables to hide evidence of corruption.

Afghans Believe US Is Funding Taliban
The truth nobody wants to hear about our decrepit wars. Reading the comments on the Guardian link makes my skin crawl how the people are so brainwashed, or are they just comments planted by the same corrupt forces intent on steering debate as we know many have suggested the government do.
From The Guardian
It's near-impossible to find anyone in Afghanistan who doesn't believe the US are funding the Taliban: and it's the highly educated Afghan professionals, those employed by ISAF, USAID, international media organisations – and even advising US diplomats – who seem the most convinced.
One Afghan friend, who speaks flawless English and likes to quote Charles Dickens, Bertolt Brecht and Anton Chekhov, says the reason is clear. "The US has an interest in prolonging the conflict so as to stay in Afghanistan for the long term."
The continuing violence between coalition forces and the Taliban is simple proof in itself.
"We say in this country, you need two hands to clap," he says, slapping his hands together in demonstration. "One side can't do it on its own."
His arguments are reasoned, although he slightly ruins the effect by explaining to me that no Jews died in the Twin Towers. It's not just the natural assets of Afghanistan but its strategic position, the logic goes. Commanding this country would give the US power over India, Russia, Pakistan and China, not to mention all the central Asian states.
"The US uses Israel to threaten the Arab states, and they want to make Afghanistan into the same thing," he says. "Whoever controls Asia in the future, controls the world."

UK No Longer Free Country? Votes To Censor Internet Sites.
Digital economy bill rushed through wash-up in late night session
Government drops clause on orphan works but inserts amendment criticised as over-broad which could block sites based on 'intent'
Here is the link to the article on the Guardian.
Editor Note: Read the angry comments after the article. Still that little bit of freedom we still have to complain. How long that will last is unknown.

Swine Flu Scaremongers Still Trying To Sell Their Wares As Unused Truckloads Return
While Greece and Norway are seeking compensation after canceling swine flu vaccination orders, and truckloads of vaccines returned unused in Albany a couple months ago, in Kentucky it's only the 'crazy' conspiracy theorists who don't wan't the vaccine, the 'good ol boys' around the water cooler know better. (Apparently in West Virginia, tomatoes also don't exist except in the mind of conspiracy theorists.)
Unlike the U.S. solution of bravely charging through the skeptics and free thinkers out there with armfuls of unused vaccines to the rescue, the Council of Europe is investigating if Swine Flu was indeed a profit making hoax for the pharmaceutical industry.
The British newspaper, The Guardian, as well is reporting on a possible loss of confidence in the WHO over Swine Flu exaggerations. But I mean, why should anyone lose confidence? The prediction of 65,000 deaths in the UK was only off by about 64,640. New Jersey is definitely still on the band wagon as I can see from an email I recently received below.
And for some in the UK, bastion of health consciousness that it is, it is in fact a race against time to get vaccinated! You've ONLY GOT 24HOURS!! Apparently that's all the time you have left to get the last doses of that vaccine that no one actually wants. Better snatch it up quick. As the Daily Echo reports, “It will be back in the autumn so now is the time for parents to prepare and take action now." Or maybe get it twice? How about three times?
