Thanks for all the links. I've looked through them. It still doesn't seem to me that there is clear evidence that Wikileaks is a CIA front. I am still of the opinion that it is not. I insist that your view is too simplistic.

Take real life events as an example: Take the Spanish Civil War and the Republic. Can you really place the Republican side under one umbrella? No (democrats, anarchists, socialists, communists, foreign idealists, etc.). Was the Republic evil for accepting help from Stalin's Russia? I don't think so. Did the Republicans or those on their side commit atrocities. I don't doubt it. I still wouldn't be on the side of the fascists if it was happening today. Politics is not clear cut; binary as you seem to think. The world is a messy place. Real life events are too. There are no innocents in power struggle (except perhaps the disempowered).

Regarding both Wikileaks' and Mailpile's fund-raising, I don't understand your point. Gmail alone has something like 500 million users. Is it so difficult to think that a project like Mailpile would attract 160k dollars? How is that a sign for suspicion?

Regarding the falling-out between Assange and Young. Who knows. I was no there. Assange seems to be quite a difficult person to work with. Young may have felt displaced (as several other people who distanced themselves from WL seem to have felt). Who knows.

The ambition to raise 5 million dollars also doesn't seem to be related to whether or not WL is a CIA front.
