Assange does not equal WikiLeaks. Yes, he's the main player, but the information is out there. Many, many people are working on it and incarcerating him will stop nothing. They can turn him into Bin Laden, but if you have a b...

Truth is a word with many definitions when in use. Previous history Pentagon Papers, Iraq Iran Afghanistan the latest crash all suggest rule is not by the populace as in a democracy but be pressure groupds running their own agenda. If Wikileaks ca...

During apartheid South Africa, most of the hate crimes were committed by brainwashed foot soldiers acting as puppets for statesmen. Perhaps this is a pattern throughout history that those who see through the facade are less likely to partake in...

Very uplifting to hear something more than the shameless cheerleading of the groveling press. It also raises an interesting question about whether our originalist Federalist Society courts will decide whether our gloriously enlightened slave...

The closing thoughts on this commentary are certainly desirable ..that transparency may change government behavior for the better. However, in a climate where a former President can publish a book in which he admits to the approving of torture an...

Hopefully, even if the vengeful US State Department's dirty tricks unit takes down the Wikileaks site, it is now backed up all over the place, and will not be lost to humanity.

Ho Joe, My answer would be that if you were only a skilled person with no ideology it would require too much energy from you to be able to 1) do the job well and at the same time 2) be able to deal with the bullshit. So it is much easier to be an...

Hi Chris and Justin, Interesting post (clicked on it from FB). I basically agree with both of you with nuances and comments I'd like to add. My take on this is that Wikileaks has, I'm speculating now, calculated the cost/advantage of al...

"Turning a blind eye" is both ableist language and rather oldfashioned. Using a disability name to label a negative behavior furthers stereotyping of disabled people. There are other ways to write/say it, such as "ignore...

I think my use of the word "selective" was not accurate because I also agree with releasing all cables. What I was driving at, is that, in this first round of cables released they should have somehow created a way ...

I see what you're saying about how the data might be used, but I really like that they are just releasing everything. If anything, I was upset that they redacted the Iraq war diaries the way they did - I think it drastically reduced the value ...
