he whistleblowing website WikiLeaks has published an internal email from
the private intelligence firm Stratfor that suggests the U.S. Justice
Department has obtained a sealed indictment against WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange. The email is one of around five million obtained from
Stratfor’s servers by the hacker group, Anonymous. "Somehow you have a
private intelligence company, Stratfor, a 'shadow CIA,'
as people have called it, having information about this sealed
indictment—secret again—that Julian Assange doesn’t have, that WikiLeaks
doesn’t have, that his lawyers don’t have," says Michael Ratner of the
Center for Constitutional Rights, who is a legal adviser to both Assange
and to WikiLeaks. "What you see here is secrecy, secrecy, secrecy."
News of the indictment comes less than a week after Army Private Bradley
Manning was arraigned for allegedly leaking classified U.S. military
and State Department documents to WikiLeaks.Video
