Assange ambushes Australian Prime Minister on live TV
"Anonymous" Hackers Release Bank of America Emails, Allegedly
Showing "Corruption and Fraud" Balboa deals in so-called
force-placed insurance coverage on mortgages. The e-mail messages
concern the removal of information linking loans to other
documentation...The e-mails dating from November 2010 concern
correspondence among Balboa employees in which they discuss taking
steps to alter the record about certain documents “that went out in
error.” The documents were related to loans by GMAC, a Bank of
America client, according to the e-mails. Anonymous has posted the
emails to the website
BankofAmericaSuck.com, which was experiencing intermittent
outages this morning (likely due to high traffic). The documents are
also available for direct download
here. The leak was
announced on Twitter with the hashtag #BlackMonday. Bank Of America
Anonymous Leak Alleges 'Corruption And Fraud' The claims of the
person purporting to be a former employee appear to begin with
so-called "forced-place
insurance," in which a mortgage borrower who doesn't maintain an
insurance policy on their home has a policy "placed" for them by
their insurer. The problem with forced-place insurance,
as Felix Salmon noted in November, comes when a mortgage
servicer owns an insurer. This can allow for highly inflated
premiums and inadequate policies forced upon borrowers without their
knowledge.

Wikileaks Tie Indonesia's President
to Corruption, but There Is
The accusations, part of a swath of US diplomatic cables

judges not to press charges against political allies and hired
intelligence forces to spy on his opponents.
Cable Leaked by WikiLeaks Shows Details of BAE Saudi Arms
Deal Britain's Serious Fraud Office began its investigation of
possible bribes in the 1980s, but finally dropped it in December
2006, at the insistence of then-Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Government officials said at the time that the safety of British
citizens was at stake because the Saudis had threatened to withhold
intelligence information about terrorists. [see
CC cover story, December 2008] The leaked
diplomatic cable, sent from Paris and written four months after the
bribe probe collapsed, says an SFO official told a private group
meeting in Paris in 2007 that it had evidence that BAE paid more
than $113 million to a Saudi prince with influence over a series of
contracts for fighter jets with Saudi Arabia. The accusations, part
of a swath of US diplomatic cables published Friday by Australian
newspaper The Age, which obtained them exclusively from
Wikileaks, are ambiguous about Yudhoyono's involvement in
corruption. But they do say he paid off judges not to press charges
against political allies and hired intelligence forces to spy on his

In advising Sweden's prime

Speaking to Legal Schnauzer's Robert Shuler, an unnamed source
suggested that Rove is likely "playing a leading role in the
effort to prosecute" Assange. The founder of the secrets website
was arrested Dec. 7 in London after Sweden issued a warrant for
alleged sex crimes. After Assange's release on bail, Guardian
obtained and published
leaked details of the allegations against him. A WikiLeaks
source
told The Australian that the leaked police reports were
"a selective smear through the disclosure of material." And there's
no coincidence that the charges against Assange originate in Sweden,
Shuler's source said. For at least 10 years, Rove has been connected
to Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik. More recently, Fredrik, who is
known as "the Ronald Reagan of Europe," has contracted Rove to help
with his 2010 re-election campaign.

One series of cables from Baghdad
reports that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki replaced hundreds of his
most experienced intelligence and security officials with
under-qualified "political officers" in advance of the 2010 Iraq
elections. Another series from Beirut in 2008
shows Lebanese Defense Minister Elias al-Murr telling U.S.
diplomats, in a message he implied they should pass on to Israeli
officials, that the Lebanese military would not resist an Israeli
invasion so long as the Israeli forces abided by certain conditions.
Murr, apparently hoping that an Israeli invasion would destroy much
of the Hezbollah insurgency and the communities in Lebanon's south
that support it, promised an Israeli invasion would go unchallenged
as long as it did not pass certain physical boundaries and did not
bomb Christian communities

Afghanistan war logs: WikiLeaks urged to remove thousands
of names The WikiLeaks editor, Julian
Assange, replied to the letter by asking the groups concerned to
help WikiLeaks redact the names. He also threatened to expose
Amnesty International if it refused to provide staff to help with
the task, according to the Wall Street Journal.Much of the
controversy over Wikileaks’ Afghanistan War document dump centered
on the inclusion of informants’ names, a move that the Pentagon and
other critics said would encourage killings of people aiding U.S.
forces. Although the Taliban
vowed to do just that, there have been no reports yet of
Wilileaks-enabled killings. Why
won't the Pentagon help WikiLeaks redact documents?
Once Assange decides that the people whose names he redacted
are “innocent,” isn’t he, in effect, endorsing the position of the
Pentagon and the justice of the war? After all, one man’s terrorist
is another man’s freedom fighter, and one man’s patriotic informant
is another man’s snitch

Colford didn't say whether the AP considers "whistle-blower" to be

Lauren Kapp also told The Cutline that the network was retiring
"whistle-blower" in its WikiLeaks reports, even though it called
WikiLeaks a "whistle-blower" on last Monday's "Nightly News With
Brian Williams." Reuters, which
has used "whistleblower" since the State Department leak, no
longer uses it either. "Our style guidelines ask that reporters not
describe WikiLeaks as a whistle-blower," Reuters spokeswoman Erin
Kurtz said. "Wikileaks is not a whistle-blowing organization," said
White House spokesman Tommy Vietor. "It's a group with an anti-U.S.
government agenda that has recklessly released stolen documents that
put at risk diplomats, intelligence professionals, and people
working to advance the cause of human rights and democracy around
