All Hail WikiLeaks!

Michael Moore - the guy who insulted and demeaned the elderly and dignified Charlton Heston in Heston's own home after being allowed in (by Heston) under the pretense (put forward by Moore) that he was a gun-affiliate, all the while filming his shameful denigration of Heston for his own pathetic grandstanding in his so-called "documentary", and yet didn't consider himself lucky for not getting escorted from the premises with a loaded rifle at his back (probably would have pissed his pants) - has helped to bail out Julian Assange.

Makes you think twice about Assange, doesn't it? Hell, if I got thrown in jail for being homophobic or for protesting outside an abortion clinic and Michael Moore came to bail me out, I would think twice about myself too.

In a statement to his official court statement, Moore said:

"I ask you to imagine how much different our world would be if WikiLeaks had existed 10 years ago. Take a look at this photo. That's Mr. Bush about to be handed a "secret" document on August 6th, 2001. Its heading read: "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US." And on those pages it said the FBI had discovered "patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings." Mr. Bush decided to ignore it and went fishing for the next four weeks.

But back then only a few people had access to that document. Because the secret was kept, a flight school instructor in San Diego who noticed that two Saudi students took no interest in takeoffs or landings, did nothing. Had he read about the bin Laden threat in the paper, might he have called the FBI?...

Or what if the public in 2003 had been able to read "secret" memos from Dick Cheney as he pressured the CIA to give him the "facts" he wanted in order to build his false case for war? If a WikiLeaks had revealed at that time that there were, in fact, no weapons of mass destruction, do you think that the war would have been launched -- or rather, wouldn't there have been calls for Cheney's arrest?"

Right, 9/11 would have been averted and the Iraq war would not have been started - says Moore. Because WikiLeaks has omniscient access to all information ever yet to be formed. Dream on, fatso.

But let's say WikiLeaks would have averted such horrors, had it been around ten years ago. Why, then Moore would not have been able to make millions off his baloney documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11, would he? Oh, that's judging rather harshly, isn't it? Of course Moore would trade every single dollar he made from Fahrenheit 9/11 for the lives of those lost in the Iraq war if he could - right?

Right?

Stretching his stupid Utopian pseudo-righteousness even further, Moore went on to state:

"What if within days of August 4th, 1964 -- after the Pentagon had made up the lie that our ship was attacked by the North Vietnamese in the Gulf of Tonkin -- there had been a WikiLeaks to tell the American people that the whole thing was made up? I guess 58,000 of our soldiers (and 2 million Vietnamese) might be alive today."

In further statements, Moore said, "If WikiLeaks had been around earlier we would all be driving electric cars." He also said, "If WikiLeaks had been around earlier, my ass would not be so fat right now!"
