<i>&#62; [...] when he was pulled aside by customs and border protection agents who told him he was randomly selected for a security search<p>&#62; [...] Receipts from his bag were photocopied and his laptop was inspected but it's not clear in what manner, the sources said. Officials from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Army then told him he was not under arrest but was being detained, the sources said. They asked questions about Wikileaks, asked for his opinions about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and asked where Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is, but he declined to comment without a lawyer present, according to the sources. He was not permitted to make a phone call, they said.</i><p>What's more worrisome to me is that doublespeak like nonrandom "random searches" and "not arrested but detained" — not to mention state officials imprisoning citizens and holding them up to some political litmus test over their opinions of our foreign wars while searching through their documents and confiscating their equipment without a warrant — has apparently become such a norm in the USA that even more open-minded news sources like Wired don't bother to question it.

I wonder if this is part of a policy to try and debase wikileaks by making it clear that if you affiliate with them or support them that life will be made hard for you.<p>I know Jake. I was a member of Noisebridge. I feel the work that Wikileaks is doing is incredibly important, and I know he's got the fortitude to deal with the bullshit and continue fighting the good fight.

It would be a good thing if more prominent people became associated with Wikileaks and diluted the one-man-show aspect. It's the principles that matter.<p>Interesting that FBI agents at Defcon said they wanted to know if "human rights" were being "trampled". Is that a clumsy way of establishing rapport with the subject, or are there actually FBI agents who think like that?

I hope that when there are discussions about the "drug war" in the US in the future, that people blame the cartels for murders and not the fact that drugs are illegal.<p>After all, the government isn't the one doing the shooting. This seems to be the defense of the Wikileaks guys.
