Michael Moore on WikiLeaks: 'Leaks Don't Kill People, Secrets Do'
"We really owe a debt to Mr. Assange and to WikiLeaks for turning on a big spotlight on those people who brought about, first of all, this war that we've been in for the better part of this decade -- these people concocted lies and they committed crimes in order to send our young men and women off to war. And it has cost us not only the lives of our own people but the lives of literally now tens if not hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Afghan citizens. ... What if we had a WikiLeaks in August of 1964 when we were told that the North Vietnamese fired on a US ship, which in fact was a lie. It was a concocted lie at the Pentagon and we didn't find out about that until Daniel Ellsberg released the 'Pentagon Papers' some six, seven years later. What if there had been a WikiLeaks?" -- Michael Moore on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Tuesday, December 14th, 2010 Turning on a big spotlight at www.michaelmoore.com
