Wikileaks release of information is by far one of the important events in recent history. It allows members of the so-called "free world" to understand more about what we know about our governments who we elect, support and pay. Things revealed are our responsibilty.
What is most extraordinary is the reaction by governments to this whistle-blowing organisation. Starting with condemnation and aggressive attacks, the reaction by states has shown the ugly side of our "freedom". We have witnessed death threats against Wikileaks(especially it's founder), hacking against it's website, incredibly suspicious (politically motivated?)charges of rape against the founder,state harassment of businesses(banks and web hosts especially), and now talk of censorship.
This bizarre attack by governments is proof that they are hiding things. In an honest, free and transparent world, these leaks would be analyised, investigated and followed up. War crime allegations would be lead to charges. Bribery and corruption also would lead to the courts. This is the ultimate chance to clean up ourselves, our governments, companies and armed forces.
Is this happening? No...the opposite is unfolding! Time for change.
