US cable leaks’ collateral damage in Zimbabwe
4th January 2011
If Morgan Tsvangirai is charged with treason, WikiLeaks will have earned the ignominy of Robert Mugabe’s gratitude
And so, where Mugabe’s strong-arming, torture and assassination attempts have failed to eliminate the leading figure of Zimbabwe’s democratic opposition, WikiLeaks may yet succeed. Twenty years of sacrifice and suffering by Tsvangirai all for naught, as WikiLeaks risks “collateral murder” in the name of transparency.
But, hey, they were just trying to help. After all, it’s not as if these people in Zimbabwe were self-righteous White People, like Assange.
