> WikiLeaks isn't acting alone -- it's partnered with the top newspapers in the 
> world (New York Times, The Guardian, Der Spiegel, etc) to carefully review 
> 250,000 US diplomatic cables and remove any information that it is 
> irresponsible to publish. Only 800 cables have been published so far. Past 
> WikiLeaks publications have exposed government-backed torture, the murder of 
> innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, and corporate corruption. 
> 
> The US government is currently pursuing all legal avenues to stop WikiLeaks 
> from publishing more cables, but the laws of democracies protect freedom of 
> the press. The US and other governments may not like the laws that protect 
> our freedom of expression, but that's exactly why it's so important that we 
> have them, and why only a democratic process can change them. 
> 
> Reasonable people can disagree on whether WikiLeaks and the leading 
> newspapers it's partnered with are releasing more information than the public 
> should see. Whether the releases undermine diplomatic confidentiality and 
> whether that's a good thing. Whether WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has the 
> personal character of a hero or a villain. But none of this justifies a 
> vicious campaign of intimidation to silence a legal media outlet by 
> governments and corporations. Click below to join the call to stop the

> Ever wonder why the media so rarely gives the full story of what happens

> vicious in their response. And when that happens, it's up to the public to 
> stand up for our democratic rights to a free press and freedom of expression. 
> Never has there been a more vital time for us to do so.
