Good. It is high time people in government and business realise that the world is changing. People don't want to be sheep anymore!

If the press were doing their job properly, there'd be no need for Wikileaks.

Censorship is one thing... Privacy is another. Censorship is publishing a document with some 'Facts n figures' removed, the Govt never published these documents - so this is plain invasion of privacy and a violation of peoples dignity.
I dont mind what Wikileaks does - but there has to be a line somewhere

Basically what Ricard said and I'll add that anything that puts people in harms way, which some of it has, I'm against. I'm all for disclosure of certain things, as long as it doesn't lead to the wrong intel getting into the wrong hands on a violent scale.

1) How do they verify information?
2) The more fascist a country, the less likely documents will be leaked from that country, or be allowed to be accessed by it's own people. The incentive is the wrong way around.
3) Who is actually going to read all those documents? It's far more likely that people will read basic summaries from biased sources.
