Wikileaks does what our partisan news outlets should be doing - holding the government accountable for actions they try to hide, actions that are not always in the best interest of the principles this fine country holds dear. I read an interesting quote yesterday, "Wikileaks is what happens when the government is forced to enter a backscatter xray."
I can't sympathize with Assange's motivations for providing the releases, but I *can* appreciate that someone is holding governments accountable for their back-alley deals.
No government should not be allowed to act with impunity, ours is no different.
