JavaFlix (an amazingly great program), will be showing a film, this coming Saturday, called "We Steal Secrets" (which is a quote from an American military spokesperson). It is a film about WikiLeaks by the acclaimed documentarian Alex Gibney (the Oscar-winning Taxi to the Dark Side, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and, most recently, the devastating exposé of sexual predators in the Catholic church, Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God).
Less than half a year ago I had looked up some info... (and I had posted about it on FaceBook), about an International Law Judge (fairly sure that he was Scandinavian..?) who had recently said something like "It must never be illegal to report the crimes of a country" ...but recently now, I've spent a LONG time on Google trying to find ANYTHING about it and totally CANNOT. Of course I have no easy access to my old FaceBook stuff... <sigh> I can't remember if the Judge had applied the legal observation directly to the case of one of the various whistleblowers that was being imprisoned, hounded, or prosecuted. Does anyone remember the Judge's actual title and name, ...or maybe some more of the specific details?? For more info about JavaFlix and/or the event try: <Javaflix West Philly> on FaceBook... or send me an email and I could put you in touch with one of the coordinators of JavaFlix. p.s. A little treat I got from a FaceBook friend: RECOVERY - ERROR MESSAGE: - YOUR COUNTRY (AMERICA), WAS RECENTLY NOT SHUT DOWN PROPERLY. - WOULD YOU LIKE TO RECOVER UNSAVED VALUES & RESTART YOUR COUNTRY (RECOMMENDED). - YOU CAN ELECT TO START IN IN SAFE MODE (AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE; LESS GUNS & WARS) - Y/N
