  I like the commentary on the TechDirt one: "Look at who's complaining the most about Wikileaks and you realize that it's the people who benefit from not being held accountable for their actions."

    At this point is it really about that? I think it has gone past that point to the criminal with Assange. I realize that isn't a popular opinion. I get what he thinks he is trying to do and all but that isn't how the world really works nor is it going to bend to wikileaks. Some of this stuff should be secret because that is how countries trust each other. I have no sympathy for him at all.

      Read Secy Gates' response to the notion that this leak will hurt them or that countries work with the US because they trust their interactions will be kept secret: http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/2010/11/quotable-secretary-gates-on-wi/ http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/2010/11/quotable-secretary-...

      The key word in your argument is some. Too much is conveniently wrapped in a cloak of secrecy that should never have existed in the first place.

    Brilliant - thanks - I've now added that to them all. But I'm giving up now - I need some sleep.
