I'm not a fan of Wikileaks but much of what the article states isn't a secret. It's clear that Google's founders for years has been trying to gain a political advantage over other corporations by being friendlier to the US govt. It makes sense since the US govt is behind the times and Google needs a friend in the US govt to make treaties that would give them an advantage over competitors in emerging markets. This is a win/win for both involved. I'm not saying this is acceptable/moral/desirable, I'm merely saying that this is how the real world of international politics works. I just wish more folks wouldn't think for a moment a corporation will stop being a corporation for the sake of it's founder's original intentions (assuming Schmidt and company were/are honest with us). At least in that clear headed acceptance of Google's agenda maybe we all can individually (and maybe collectively? I know it's quite a bit to ask.) adjust our strategies to limit their abuse of our data.
