Wikileaks News 22011 Assange victim of UK (in-)justice double standards - Video
Cites US cable that says he rules by fear and intimidation
New Delhi, March 18:
The BJP was left red-faced on Tuesday as WikiLeaks denied that its founder Julian Assange had ever endorsed the principal opposition partys prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi as incorruptible.
In a series of tweets, the whistleblower website disclosed a secret cable by a senior US diplomat eight years ago that described Modi as a distrustful person who reigns more by fear and intimidation.
The website tweeted details of a number of observations made by the then Mumbai-based Consul General Michael S Owen on Modis leadership in a cable after his visit to the state in 2006.
No WikiLeaks document say #Modi is incorruptible, rather he is popular because viewed as incorruptible, WikiLeaks said. Wikileaks said the term incorruptible was apparently used by a Gujarat Congress leader Manoharsinh Jadeja.
Fake endorsement
The Narendra #Modi incorruptible quote comes from Rajkot Congress party leader Manoharsinh Jadeja, it said.
In another tweet, WikiLeaks accused BJP of using the fake Assange-Modi endorsement to raise funds. WikiLeaks went on to tweet a secret cable sent by the US Embassy in 2006 that criticised Modis style of functioning.
Views remain divided on whether Modis leadership style will help or harm him if he enters national politics. In public, Modi can be charming and likable. By all accounts, however, he is an insular, distrustful person... He reigns more by fear and intimidation than by inclusiveness and consensus, and is rude, condescending and often derogatory to even high level party officials. He hoards power..., one such diplomatic cable under a sub-heading Modis Leadership Style said.

Never said Modi incorruptible: WikiLeaks
A controversy erupted over a claim that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange endorsed Narendra Modi as "incorruptible" even as the whistle-blower website disclosed a secret cable by a senior US diplomat eight years ago that described him as a "distrustful person" who reigns more by "fear and intimidation".

In another tweet, WikiLeaks accused BJP of using the "fake Assange-Modi endorsement" to raise funds.
The website today accused Priti Gandhi, Co-Convener of Maharashtra BJP Communication Cell, of pushing the "fake endorsement" by WikiLeaks.
Its clarification came against the backdrop of some BJP supporters circulating posters in Ahmedabad quoting Assange, saying that "America is scared of Modi because he is incorruptible."
BJP, however, downplayed the WikiLeaks tweets. "We don't need a certificate from WikiLeaks or Assange on Modiji," BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi had said.

Controversy over WikiLeaks' comment on Narendra Modi
The US Army private who was convicted as Bradley Edward Manning for leaking US secrets to whistleblower website WikiLeaks is petitioning a court for a name change, to Chelsea Elizabeth Manning.
Leavenworth County District Court in Kansas has scheduled an April 23 hearing on the request, according to a Leavenworth Times legal notice sent on Wednesday by a spokesman at Fort Leavenworth, where Manning is serving a 35-year sentence.
The petition was filed on January 27 and published on March 1 after it was submitted by Manning's lawyer, David Coombs.
Coombs didn't immediately respond to questions about the petition. Manning said in an October letter to supporters that Coombs would help with the name change.
The Private Manning Support Network announced the petition on its website on Wednesday. The group also said it is changing its name to the Chelsea Manning Support Network.
Officials at Fort Leavenworth have said Manning would have to get a legal name change to be known as Chelsea.
Manning has been diagnosed by at least two Army behavioural health specialists with gender dysphoria, or gender identity disorder.
In addition to the name change, Manning has asked to receive hormone replacement therapy and live as a woman while incarcerated. She and Coombs have said they will go to court, if necessary, to obtain the hormone treatment.
Civilian federal prisons are required to provide such treatment, if deemed medically necessary, for inmates diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Unlike in military prisons, the policy also allows inmates who believe they are the wrong gender to dress and live accordingly as part of their individual treatment plans.
The military has said it does not provide treatment for gender dysphoria because Pentagon policy dictates that transgender soldiers are not allowed to serve. But Manning can't be discharged until he's released from prison and exhausts appeals of her criminal convictions.
