Wanted by the CIA: The man who keeps no secrets

Wanted by the CIA: The man who keeps no secrets

Wikileaks: the website that publishes governments' secrets. They verify the documents, not the sources, which is one way of escaping court orders to reveal the latter. Personally, I think they do an important job, especially as the courts keep issuing superinjunctions that prevent freedom of speech. Christopher Booker writes of receipt of a minor one in today's Sunday Telegraph. The courts should protect the rights of the weak against the powerful, but unsurprisingly, tend to protect the rich and, increasingly, the bureaucrats. An interesting interview. wikileaks is not run by a saint, but Cobden and Paine were no saints themselves...and as for John Wilkes! But we owe many of our media freedoms to them and none to Rupert Murdoch...Think on!
