Frank Jordans reports:"A former WikiLeaks spokesman launched a rival website Friday, saying he planned to give whistleblowers more control over the secrets they spill."The new platform, called OpenLeaks, will allow sources to choose specifically who they want to submit documents to anonymously, such as to a particular news outlet, said Daniel Domscheit-Berg.
"'We'd like to work with media outlets that have an interest in informing the public,' he told reporters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum meeting of top business and political leaders in the Swiss resort of Davos.
"The difference between his group and WikiLeaks, he said, would be that his group leaves reviewing the material up to the publication or advocacy group chosen by the source to receive the information."

FRANK JORDANS 01/28/11 10:31 AM AP
DAVOS, Switzerland — WikiLeaks has struggled to wade through the vast amounts of material it received – particularly the hundreds of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables – and been criticized for sharing the data with only a handful of media outlets around the world.Domscheit-Berg said giving more professional journalists and analysts the opportunity to receive and sift through documents would speed up the process while making OpenLeaks less of a target, as it would not be publishing any of the material itself.
"We are not going to get under the same kind of scrutiny from governments and big corporations as WikiLeaks is currently," he said.
WikiLeaks and its 39-year-old Australian founder Julian Assange have come under increasing pressure since beginning to publish some 250,000 secret U.S. diplomatic cables in November.
Domscheit-Berg, a former spokesman for WikiLeaks who fell out with Assange, said the two websites and others soon to be launched could complement each other, helping to "decentralize" the whistleblowing process.
OpenLeaks will begin testing in several weeks and could be fully operational later this year, he said. So far it has received no outside funding, but should that ever be the case it would be done transparently, he added.
Jeff Jarvis, who teaches journalism at the City University of New York and attended the launch, said the appearance of WikiLeaks, OpenLeaks and others points to a shift in control over information.
"It used to be that he or she who held secrets held power," Jarvis told The Associated Press. "Now he or she who creates transparency holds power."
"The inspiration that's occurring out of all this is very important," he added. "What it says to people in power and government and business is: 'you can't hide.'"

Re: Proof and Documentation Refuting "The White House Jihadist, Obama, Stands by Muslim Brotherhood Endorsement"
Tommy,
Since the response I wrote is Jefferson in his own words that support
his own words (Declaration of Independence) I would say that your
response leaves you looking rather STUPID.
As to the sexual proclivities of Jesus or anyone else for that matter
maybe you should learn from Jefferson that some things are meant to be
kept personal and government should not interfere.
What you do not seem to want to (it may also be a simple in/dis-
ability) understand is that most Constitutionalists would favor the
rollback of all Federal pro-marriage acts rather than see the
constitution further bastardized by adding anyone to it.
Healthcare, hiring quotas, telling me who I can or can not sell my
house to, charging an income tax, are all things beyond the scope of
said document and are the pervue of the states. The differences were
and are what makes different states repugnant or attractive to the
individual... and was the reason for the enumeration/limitation of
Federal powers.

Re: OT: SUPER BOWL
--From a friend:
"Just to let everybody know that newly elected Pennsylvania Sen.Pat Toomey is going to be watching the Superbowl at the White House today, along with that sleazebag Bob Casey and a variety of other politicans of both parties from PA and Wisconsin. I have nightmares of what happened two years ago when Arlen Specter attended the White House Superbowl party and agreed to be the deciding vote for the stimulus. What will happen this time?"

Guten Morgen CW!!
Yea, go figure.....I did note this morning, that if you line up all the cars in the correct parking spots according to the lines, you could only fit eight cars in the lot. This morning, there were 10 cars, so maybe the Deutsch know a little something more than we do??
<Grin>!!

It was kalt (cold) and nasty this morning, so I didn’t get an early start…..Instead, I took a few pics, from my balcony:
This was sticking my cam out the balcony ledge….Good view of “The Dom”; (The “Cathedral of Köln”);
Da Ride….It’s a Renault SomethinOrOther…..Good till the end of February…..We’ll see what happens, but no question, “Keithie Needs A Ride” while in the Fatherland…..
This is directly across the street from me, it’s a park, and I think it will be nice during the spring/summer….If I am here!! I think my Deutsch neighbors need to be introduced to a “pig pickin’ “!!
(As a side note, the graffiti is bad in Köln….It’s all over!)
Talk Soon!!!
