Realty Check, This is a debate forum..... Now when It is a debate forum There is a Possibility of a Negative and Positive debates, But One Must be Proud in Posting With His Own Nationality Rather Must not Take Refuge under some one elses Just because his Country Dosent Get Insulted When On a debate.... I feel the Pride of My Tri color and Some Others too as they are using Our Nationality as a Cover for them to Escape from Troubles,as I said in "New York"
Off Topic Reply, But There was a Deliberate News that Pakistanis are Hiding Behind Indian Names Openly In New York for them to escape from problems By Being Called As "Pakistani's" , This Is Just a Forum, Anyone Can manipulate his Nationality to bash Others....
you guys are paranoid
Hi Jana Ji, I dont need My Bachelors Degree to Understand The Word "Paranoia" , But Again I dont want to Get Personal On You for You are a Women.... But Again The Person Whom You are Protecting is Just the Correct Person for the Word You Mentioned.... A Person Who desent Know About India, A Person Who Knows Nothing About His Own Cultures and Artifacts Can Never Be An Indian, But at the Same time Encouraging His Countries Enemy's to revolt is Just Not a Character of an Indian....
Would U say the Same Thing if a Person hiding Behind a Pakistani flag Saying BS about Your country and Would U dare Protect him

New WikiLeaks files 'to reveal American criticism of Mandela'
By SIMON WALTERS and CHRISTOPHER LEAKE
Nelson Mandela is among world leaders believed to have been criticised in a leak of US diplomatic files, well-placed sources said last night.
Disclosures about the 92-year-old ex-South African President are among three million secret American diplomatic missives obtained by the website WikiLeaks.
Other world leaders who have clashed with the US including Afghanistan’s Hamid Karzai, Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi and Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe also come off badly in the no-holds-barred private cables to the White House from scores of US embassies.
Mr Mandela condemned George Bush over the Iraq War, suggesting the US President had ignored UN calls for restraint because the then Secretary-General Kofi Annan was black
Around 800 messages are from the US embassy in London and some reportedly feature negative and hostile comments about Gordon Brown and the Labour Government.
These are thought to relate to the Anglo-US dispute after Britain freed Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi from a Scottish jail to a hero’s welcome in Libya last year.
The cables are believed to include withering US assessments of Mr Brown’s personality and prospects of staying in power.
They may also show the low regard of the White House for Britain’s ‘special relationship’ with America. Nor does David Cameron escape from criticism.
Mr Mandela, who stepped down as President in 1999, condemned George Bush over the Iraq War, suggesting the US President had ignored the United Nations’ calls for restraint because the then Secretary-General Kofi Annan was black.
He also called Tony Blair the ‘foreign minister of the United States’ for supporting Mr Bush over Iraq.
The secret cables, due to be published online today, are believed to be from January 2006 to December 2009 – taking in the latter part of Tony Blair’s Premiership and most of Gordon Brown’s.
Defence insiders say Britain’s national security could be ‘put at risk’ by the revelations, which are understood to include details of the Iraq and Afghan wars plus inform¬ation about secret service practices and intelligence sources.
The British Government has issued a DA-Notice (defence advisory), warning newspapers that publishing the secrets could compromise national security.
WikiLeaks gained notoriety earlier this year when it released secret details of allied military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The revelations of American brutality in Iraq and Afghanistan led to its founder Julian Assange – an Australian-born computer hacker – being attacked by governments around the world. He is now wanted for alleged rape in Sweden.
Trail of damage: Bradley Manning, left, and Julian Assange
US sources say the ‘whistleblower’ for the latest leaks was most likely US Army soldier Bradley Manning, the 23-year-old American intelligence analyst arrested in Iraq in June and charged over the earlier Wiki¬Leaks disclosures.
Private First Class Manning, from Oklahoma – who was assigned to a support battalion with the US 10th Mountain Division in Iraq – is being held in custody at the Quantico Marine Barracks in Virginia, US.
He has been charged with ‘transferring classified data on to his personal computer and adding unauthorised software to a classified computer system’ and ‘communicating, transmitting and delivering national defence inform¬ation to an unauthorised source’.
Manning is believed to have gained the data by hacking into top-secret US intelligence computer systems.
Last night Mr Assange refused to comment on the latest revelations.
US intelligence is said to have known for months that WikiLeaks held the damaging secrets contained in the cables. Huge teams of diplomats have been sifting through all cable traffic for the period affected and studying the most damaging revelations.
On Friday, senior US diplomats briefed governments including the UK, Israel, Turkey, Denmark and Norway about the damaging secrets which had been contained in cables, including classified messages sent to Washington from the American embassy in London.
The US ambassador to London, Louis Susman, took the unprecedented step of going to Downing Street to brief officials on what was termed as ‘contingency planning’.
Yesterday, Italy and Canada were also briefed.
The US State Department said last night: ‘They contain sensitive information and reveal sources of information that impact our national interests and those of other countries.
‘Typical cables describe summaries of meetings, analysis of events in other countries and records of confidential conversations with officials of other governments and with members of civil society.’
Last night a source close to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told The Mail on Sunday: ‘This is enormously embarrassing to the US. The CIA have Assange under total surveillance.
‘The idea was that nothing would be news to us. But these latest documents were moved as hard copies, not electronically, so we still don’t know the extent of the leak.’
The Foreign Office said last night: ‘We would condemn any unauthorised release of this classified information just as we condemn leaks of classified material in the UK. They can damage national security, are not in the national interest and, as the US has said, may put lives at risk.’
The US Embassy in London refused to comment.

Panic at the top as latest Wikileaks release nears
US and UK say leak of 3m documents tonight will trigger security risks
By Eliot Sefton
LAST UPDATED 11:13 AM, NOVEMBER 28, 2010 Share
British and American diplomats and officials seem to be badly rattled by the upcoming release of almost three million secret documents by the Wikileaks whistle-blowing website. They have begun co-ordinated damage-limitation exercises as they warn the leak could pose a threat to national security.
The 2.7m documents will be published online this evening - and have been shown in advance to newspapers chosen by Wikileaks in the US, UK and Germany. They are thought to be composed mostly of diplomatic cables sent between the US and its embassies.
Among revelations which will test the special relationship between Britain and America are frank or even scathing - assessments of British politicians including Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg. Brown is said to be described as weak and unpredictable in the cables.
But UK and US concerns have been raised not over these embarrassments but over fears that candid British views on key Muslim figures, quoted in the American documents, may be interpreted as anti-Islamic.
Air Vice Marshal Andrew Vallance, secretary of the D notice committee which makes official requests to the British media not to publish material it considers a security risk, has written to newspapers.
He warned of "the potential consequential effects of disclosing information which would put at risk the safety and security of Britons working or living in volatile regions where such publicity might trigger local reactions - for example, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan".
The US state department said the leaks could have dire consequences: We condemn what WikiLeaks is doing. Its actions are gratuitous, harm relations among countries and erode ... trust.
The Foreign Office, meanwhile, said: We would condemn any unauthorised release of this classified information, just as we condemn leaks of classified material in the UK. They can damage national security, are not in the national interest and, as the US have said, may put lives at risk.
The US has also taken the unusual step of making public a letter written in reply to Assange after he asked for help identifying parts of the documents which might endanger individuals, in order to redact them.
Refusing to co-operate with Assange (above), the Obama administration told Wikileaks that its actions have "endangered the lives of countless individuals".
Neither government has, however, made any reference to the other revelations the documents are rumoured to contain, including details of secret talks with Libya about the repatriation of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi.

Mandela, Karzai figure in WikiLeaks' secrets
London: Whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks will release a whole cache of secret diplomatic messages to the US related to former South African president Nelson Mandela, Afghanistan's Hamid Karzai and Libya's Colonel Gaddafi, a media report said here Sunday.
Around three million secret US diplomatic messages obtained by WikiLeaks would expose the "no-holds-barred" private cables to the White House from scores of US embassies, the Daily Mail reported.
Mandela, who stepped down as president in 1999, condemned George Bush over the Iraq war, saying the US president had ignored the UN's calls for restraint because the then secretary-general Kofi Annan was black.
He also called Tony Blair the "foreign minister of the US" for supporting Bush over the Iraq war.
Around 800 messages are from the US embassy in London and some reportedly feature "negative and hostile comments" about Gordon Brown and the then Labour government.
These are reportedly related to the British-US dispute after Britain freed Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi from a Scottish jail to a hero's welcome in Libya last year.
The messages also reportedly include US assessments of Brown's personality and prospects of staying in power.
The secret messages, due to be published online Sunday, are believed to be from January 2006 to December 2009.
WikiLeaks earlier this year released secret details - 70,000 files - of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The revelations of American brutality in Iraq and Afghanistan led to its founder Julian Assange - an Australian-born computer hacker - being targeted by governments around the world. He is now wanted for alleged rape in Sweden.

Wikileaks cables: key issues
The controversial whistle-blowing site Wilileaks has released a cache of 250,000 secret messages sent by US diplomatic staff. Here are some of the key issues the documents reveal, as reported by the New York Times and Guardian newspapers.
Pakistan stand-off
The cables show US concern over radioactive material in nuclear power stations in Pakistan, with fears it could be used in terror attacks. They reveal the US has been attempting to remove highly enriched uranium from a research reactor in Pakistan since 2007.
In a May 2009 cable, US ambassador Anne W Patterson says Pakistan had refused a visit from US experts. She quotes a Pakistani officials as saying removing the fuel would be seen in Pakistan "as the United States taking Pakistan's nuclear weapons".
China hacking
There is concern over the alleged growing use of large scale computer hacking by the Chinese government. Cables reports claims that a network of hackers and private security experts has been employed by China since 2002and that it has hacked into US government and business computers, those of Western allies and the Dalai Lama.
The cables quote a Chinese contact telling the US embassy in Beijing that the Chinese government had been behind the hacking of Google's computer systems in the country in January.
Iran attack
Several Arab leaders and their representatives are quoted as urging the US to carry out an attack on Iran to bring an end to its suspected nuclear weapons programme.
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is reported to have "frequently exhorted" the US to attack Iran in order to bring an end to its nuclear programme.
In a report of a 2008 meeting with US General David Petraeus, the Saudi ambassador to Washington, Adel al-Jubeir, said King Abdullah wanted the US to "to cut the head off the snake".
King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa of Bahrain is reported to have told the US to stop Iran "by whatever means necessary", while the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed, told the US he believed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was "going to take us to war".
Biometric spying on UN
A cable to US diplomats issued under US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's name tells them to collect "biographic and biometric" information - including iris scans, DNA samples and fingerprints - on key officials at the UN. They are also ordered to find credit card details, email addresses and passwords and encryption keys used for computer networks and in official communications.
The officials covered include "undersecretaries, heads of specialised agencies and their chief advisers, top SYG [secretary general] aides, heads of peace operations and political field missions, including force commanders".
At least nine similar directives covering various countries are included in the Wikileaks release, both under the name of Mrs Clinton and her predecessor, Condoleezza Rice.
Korea plans
US and South Korean officials have discussed plans for a united Korea, should North Korea collapse.
The US ambassador to Seoul said South Korea would consider offering commercial incentives to China to "help salve" Beijing "concerns about living with a reunified Korea".
Guantanamo
The cables appear to reveal discussions between various countries on whether they would take prisoners released from the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.
Slovenia is offered the chance to meet President Barack Obama if it takes a prisoner, while Kiribati, in the South Pacific, is offered millions of dollars of incentives. Brussels is told taking prisoners could be "a low-cost way for Belgium to attain prominence in Europe".
World leaders
Various world leaders are covered by the documents - showing the diplomats' less than flattering views of them.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is referred to as "feckless, vain, and ineffective as a modern European leader" by a US diplomat in Rome.
In 2008, the Moscow embassy describes Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as playing "Robin to (Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's) Batman.
The cables also comment on the extremely close relationship between Mr Berlusconi and Mr Putin.
North Korea's Kim Jong-il is a "flabby old chap" suffering from trauma from a stroke, while Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is referred to as "Hitler".
South Africa's international relations and cooperation minister refers to President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe as "the crazy old man".
