The advantage..."To write is to wage war."<br />The advantage of Wikileaks is it doesn't look to governments for direction on what it will publish. It might retract names, but otherwise, it publishes everything it is leaked.<br />It's probably the only resource available that we have that won't disappear stories that are inconvenient to those in power.<br />"The best way to become boring is to say everything."<br />Because Wikileaks publishes everything, anything it might publish could easily get lost in all the information it makes available.<br />Which is probably why Assange released a mega-batch of pointless diplomatic cables that were secret and classified.<br />My reasoning is, it was to show how pointless and trite most information governments hide actually is.<br />Anyhow, as for whether Wikileaks becomes a diversion, my perspective is, think of it as a tool instead, or rather, "a statement of the facts as they are," or to paraphrase, "A library of documents as they were."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
