Estava a dar uma olhada pelos últimos telegramas do Wikileaks e surgiu esta situação, é interessante que ninguém dos principais meios de comunicação tenha mencionado o caso; estes parecem estar mais interessados em mostrar-nos o circo mediático das campanhas eleitorais; isso ou a crise, todos os dias somos invadidos por mensagens de desespero! O caso já tinha sido abordado pelo "Jornal de Notícias" em 2008, e trata-se de um suposto ex-militar russo a viver em Portugal que contrabandeia material trazido de Chernobil; esse suposto militar estaria a ser auxiliado por um Juíz do Porto - agora que os Juízes se queixam do corte de salários, será que "cai mal" uma notícia destas? Também podemos especular se a comunicação social considera o Wikileaks como um mero site de hackers, posição que foi defendida por diversos comentadores por altura das revelações principais dos telegramas. De qualquer forma, é mais um exemplo da pobre qualidade jornalística do nosso país.

He did not hesitate in providing personal information regarding his home address (not verified) and points of contact. The walk-in was, however, unable to provide any identifiers on the ex-Russian General. The walk-in stated he is not on any medications and has not consulted any mental health specialists. The walk-in does not appear to be mentally unstable and actually appears to be believe the plates are in fact Uranium. END RSO NOTE)
