Note: I posted this show earlier this evening and, other than the opening theme, it ended up being an hour and a half of silence. The program I use to edit the show somehow corrupted the MP3 and the project file itself and the damage was unrecoverable. Long story short: I had to start again from scratch and re-edit the show in a hurry and consequently, the show is not the greatest quality. Sorry peeps!
Joining me this week is my good friend Mark. He may be familiar to you if you are a long time Chariots / Atheist news listener. This show took a long time to get out, as can be evidenced by the giant gap between releases. The holiday season has been murder, let me tell you. Just be glad I’m not a Christian or a congressman–you wouldn’t have seen this sucker until January.
We do a little mail, we do a little news and we have a nice discussion about what has been happening with Wikileaks recently. Check out the poll this week:
Do we, as atheists and (presumably) humanists have anything to say about what has been going on with Wikileaks in the news recently?
Don’t thank God… thank Kevin.

I have you subscribed on Itunes but I only hear the opening and that’s it. Tried the website and got the same thing.

My opinion about Wikileaks has more to do with being an American more than anything. Federal government has too much power, and state government has too little power given how this country was suppose to be.
With having such a large and powerful governmental group, there become secrets that shouldn’t be secret all too often. Heck, our government has closed door meetings all of the time.
Long story short, Wikileaks holds people accountable the way the news media should be. Since news media isn’t doing their part, groups like Wikileaks will be and need to be formed. Much like illegally downloaded music, movies, video games, and so on, it is something that no one can stop. The internet is the one true place of freedom where the people will get their opinions and voices heard.
On top of that, hacker groups will do everything they can to guarantee the people get to keep those freedoms, and they are not bias on who they have to punish to make sure people keep those freedoms.
