Ivo Indzhev | Letter from America slid through censorship
In late December 2010 launch site Wikileaks scandal Cablegate: the publication of 251,287 classified U.S. diplomatic cables. So far, the site published 5000 telegrams or about 2% of the total base. Eight cables published to date are from the U.S. Embassy.
From the article in Le Monde also learn that there is another telegram dated September 11, 2009, which is also dedicated to Bulgarian organized crime. It has the "Russian connection" where the representative said Michael Cherney in Bulgaria - Todor Batkov lawyer. Embassy underlines its strong political connections and the fact that in 2008 he was awarded by President international telegram Georgi Parvanov's highest state award "Stara Planina".
Ten days after publication in Le Monde on 17 December 2010 on the website of Wikileaks international telegram was censored by the Guardian published text of the diplomatic cable from July 7, 2005, signed by Ambassador James Pardew.
As is known, the politics of Wikileaks has not published in full original texts of these telegrams international telegram and publish international telegram censored versions made by teams of peer media after reading the contents international telegram of the documents. Thus the media are known for their professionalism and reputation international telegram ensure that the publications will appear the names of informants and others who are threatened by the disclosure of their identity.
Wikileaks have chosen this model to not endanger the lives of intelligence agents and informers, as happened after the publication of materials for the U.S. military and its allies in Afghanistan. Then even the principal defenders of freedom of speech international telegram as "Reporters Without Borders" made a sharp and justified criticism of Julian Assange.
It is noteworthy that in the published grams of July 7, 2005 The "Who's Who in Bulgarian Organized Crime" abounds in passages censored. We can only speculate about the reasons why Guardian journalists have hidden people and companies international telegram for which the embassy believes are part of organized crime. The names of these individuals and companies with information about suspected ties to organized crime are not new to the Bulgarian and international audiences.
The cable is said to finance the election campaign of political power in 2001, but removed the name of the political party. Deleting names and cities, which are allegedly controlled by organized crime. It is not clear what threatens these figures alleged criminal behavior and associated politicians if their names are published. Obviously, they themselves were not informers Pardew to be protected in this way. Even more difficult for us to get a sense of the reasons for hiding all g, as in the case with the publication in Le Monde.
Concealment of this information does not help efforts to increase transparency and civic intolerance links between the underworld and power. There are contrary to the basic idea of Wikileaks - should be public documents, hid from public plagues of organized crime, corruption, dirty deals of power and connections to political figures with them.
It would be a shame if it turns out that journalists from leading world media is provided free of charge to the Wikileaks information as a commodity whose value depends on the choice of the moment to be marketed. The fact is that recently appeared in Sofia envoy Monde. Petr Smolar met with journalists from the newspaper Gallery took interview is still under house arrest and Petrov wrote a great article about the conflict between Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and Petrov, with details about the wiretapping scandal of special investigative means (RCC).
Bivol got a telegram uncensored text of James Pardew on 07/07/2005. He was granted the magazine "Russkiy Reporter" which prepares publication for the influence of the Russian Mafia in Bulgaria with a request to verify the authenticity of the names and events international telegram and to provide comments on the fate of the landmark organized crime bosses cited the cable.
We specify that we have no contractual or financial relationship with the "Russkiy Reporter", its owners and its sources. Our professional contacts are limited to work on this case: summarizing and providing factual information and analysis of our editorial gramme.
Very carefully reviewed the entire text and did not find it any name of a person who should be hidden for the sake of his safety, because it is providing international telegram information on organized crime in the U.S. embassy.
