Maybe I missed it, but when is Wikileaks going to release embarassing, sensitive and potentially dangerous info on governments other than the US. Is everyone really that naive to think other governments don't do the exact same thing? I'm all for transparency in the government and military, but everyone seems to think they're entitled to know every last detail about every single thing. The world as it exists today could not operate in a completely open society where everyone knows every intimate detail of everything that goes on. Get rid of disease, war, hunger, greed, crime and poverty and maybe we can start thinking along those lines.

If this stuff was acceptable, why would the Pentagon be so scared?
There are very few real reasons to keep stuff secret. Look at the info which is released after 60 years - when it's safe that people won't take action - and the corruption and lies and crimes it exposes.
Truth is what we need to expose these criminals. Truth of today, not of sixty years ago when it is usually released.
The US government is a nest of vipers which has to be fumigated by the breath of truth, and that means exposure through leaks.edit on 26-11-2010 by wcitizen because: (no reason given)

EXACTLY! Spot on mate!
Julian Assange knows this, of course he will do all he can using whatever methods to exterminate these vermin.
The reason it's all centred around the US is because it's the dark hats within the US government that is responsible for all/if not most of the world's problems.
Once the world is rid of these vermin, then the world will finally have peace and prosperity!

for a public figure he has done very little to disprove the rape charges ,
its one thing to arrogant but its another thing to prove "them" wrong,
in a nut shell ,
he is using information to show others what the goverments and corporations have done is illegal and not law abiding
why isnt he then a law abiding role model in his own case , ...
just saying ,

Playing devils advocate, does that mean other governments are squeaky clean? So maybe we have some embarrasing information on other govenmental officials...you don't think they have their intelligence agencies playing the same cat and mouse game? I'm not disagreeing that there is a ton of corruption in government..I mean I spent most of my life in NJ and there was tons of it in local and state government, my point is that we live in a dangerous and complex world and releasing information that puts lives in danger and is just plain reckless. You say there are very few real reasons to keep stuff secret. What reasons would you consider OK?

As my friend Jack Nickelson used to say, "You can't handle the truth!". People for some obscure reason want to know everything, but is it worth risking their lives? I doubt people would rather live in a wartorn country hating the Government because they admit they are crap than America that keep people in the dark for mostly their own good.

The title says Wikileaks is down. That doesn't seem to be the case. Wikileaks is up and running. Care to explain the meaning of the title?
