Wikileaks

The Wikileaks fiasco has become one of the most popular stories in the world lately. Over the last month, the site Wikileaks.org has been publishing hundreds of thousands of confidential government documents. This is the largest set of confidential government documents ever to be released to the public. Perhaps one of the biggest issues I have with this is the fact that reports are indicating that people, in particularly soldiers, are dying due to the leaked information. That makes this an issue that must be addressed. I think the issue isn't the leaked information itself, but the policies that have been put in place that allow people to have this confidential information. Information of this level of secrecy should be shared between as few people as possible. In the event that someone in this inner circle is fired or gets pissed off for some reason or another, they should probably be monitored, to make sure something like this doesn't happen. In my opinion, this is the government's fault. One person who is not to blame is Julian Assange. Assange is the founder of Wikileaks. He is being sought for rape and assault charges which he may or may not be guilty of. Many people in the media believe that the charges are fraudulent and are just being targeted at Assange because of his involvement with Wikileaks.
