Am I the only one that finds the reaction on this board very strange, almost funny? Ok. So let's review: third-party organization dumps entire trove of state department secret cables, and anybody is surprised that their lawyers are being watched? It's like living in a strange world where all reason is lost. Look guys, even if wikileaks is totally awesomely great, they are also an enemy of the United States. Their mission, according to Assange, is to attack the nodes of government in a way to keep them from communicating with each other. No matter how nice and reasonable those folks are, they are declaring war on my government. I sure hope we (and others) are watching them. So what the heck do you expect? Something like a TV courtroom drama? This is an act of war by a non-state actor (which is about the most interesting part of the whole story, really). Going on about how terrible it is that their lawyers are being watched is like trying to figure out baseball by studying yodeling. You have the wrong model for the thing you are talking about. Your model will never match up with the reality. Wikileaks looks like it has tapped into a deep paranoia and need to create these huge international spy dramas for many people. If you are getting all emotional about things so far because it's not working like you think it should, I imagine it's only going to get worse for you in the days to come. People are wondrous things.
