As far as I am concerned WikiLeaks helped reveal classified US information across the the internet. We can go back and forth about governments having too much secret/classified information and what the public should know, ...BUT... I believe that stealing and broadcasting secret documents is not "innovation" and it surely put many lives at risk. I also believe that Wikileaks is tainted with Julian Assange's actions. *Dec 1 : The International Criminal Police Organisation or INTERPOL on Wednesday said it has issued look out notice for arrest of WikiLeaks' owner Julian Assange on suspicion of rape charges on the basis of the Swedish Government's arrest warrant.* http://www.newkerala.com/news/world/fullnews-95693.html Those outside the US see wikileaks a different way they I do, but for the reasons I outlined above I would not want to be associated with them at all. Moreover, I believe there already is an aggressive system of checks and balances in the US (it could be better of course) and we do not need innovation like wikileaks offers to stay free, like open source the US is always changing and innovating. Wikileaks represents irresponsible use of technology that should be avoided.
