It's been a while since I have seen so many people so angry. I have a few thoughts on the whole Wikileaks saga:
1) Secrets are only supposed to stay secret if you had not previously shared them with 2.5 million people.
2) When the whole world is mad at you for exposing the unseemly underbelly of politics at its rawest, you must be doing something right.
3) Freedom marches on!
The biggest point though is that if the press were doing its duty instead of feeding us a nonsensical diet of Britney, Harry, Lindsay, Kimmie K, Jen, Brad, Angelina, Dancing With The Stars, the latest faux news, water cooler gossip, How bout them Cowboys, Bieber- He's so cute!, Did Kanye meltdown again, who's dating who, did you hear the gruesome tale of, and He said She said Bullcrap, maybe we would not need a Wikileaks.
There was a time when it was responsible journalism to explore government secrets and report on them to keep a bright light shining on what is arguably the most corrupt of professions...or the most corrupting.
