Im confused by your logic :) are you seriously suggesting that you think Google hosting a Wikileaks server is a good idea (for anyone)? Or are you just "trollin

  Well I'm glad you feel entitled to be the moral police officer of HN :) I should remark that I feel my comment is witty and appropriate and happens to employ a useful bite of sarcasm/satire to the issue. Furthermore, I don't think that posting a comment that you deem inappropriate constitutes inappropriate "behavior". The comments have clearly received lots of upvotes as well, but have ended up a few points negative after a few days. I am far from anti-google. In fact Google is one of my favorite companies, but its one vice is its tremendous willingness to get involved in politics (first Eric Schmidt's schmoozing with politicians and now Sergey's neoconservative anti-China posturing). Wikileaks occupies the uncomfortable space of being a subversive element right in Google's back yard. And, as much fun as it is to throw stones at China, there are still important issues of censorship and corruption right here in the US that could use exposure. The worst aspect of politics, by the way, is the way it leads people toward an "us vs them" view. Google's approach on China reinforces this. Being anti-China is the new livestrong bracelet, and it's dangerous to our society and will result in war.
