So the official, publicly funded, communications of the most  
militarily powerful state apparatus in the world are private  
conversations and communications! Sorry, Frank.  We paid for them and  
we have a moral right to see them if we want to.

WikiLeaks certainly embarrasses the powers that be - which is certainly
all to the good.  Surely it will awaken some to the disgustingly anti=human
activities of these powers - but there must also be the negative effect that
the result of  these leaks is to just vastly increase the security network
these powers set up against us.

Who wins in the end all depends on us - and millions more, not only
realising how we are being duped, mislead and exploited, but also being
prepared to to put our lives on the line in opposing this system and its
leaders until we REALLY get a change !!

Just at the moment WikiLeaks is a great help to our argument and propaganda
and should be warmly welcomed.  In the long term it will only have a
positive effect if our use of it brings many others into sufficient activity
which starts to get rid of the bastards exposed by their own words unleashed
to the public by WikiLeaks

THIS is the main argument in question - everything else is a sidetrack

Jon Stewart did make a very good point of all this the other night.  While
defending WikiLeaks, he also pointed out that it was quite naive to think
that anything WikiLeaks disclosed was going to shock Americans.

As a people, Americans have managed to process vast quantities of bullshit
with so much as a hiccup...and certainly no real indigestion
