I'm all for transparency in government and holding people in power responsible, but there's an entire world of governments out there that should have their actions (or lack thereof, depending on the issue) scrutinized by the public, not just America. Where's the WikiLeaks coverage of China's human rights issues? How about the Cambodian government's failure to address the problem of child sex workers? Is WikiLeaks covering that? Is WikiLeaks going to at any point in the near future shed some light on the Mexican government's involvement with the drug cartels?
WikiLeaks isn't this bastion of idealistic free speech that you're making it out to be. Perhaps, in days gone past, it used to be. All it is now is little more than just another anti-American soapbox for Assange to rally his cadre of basement dwelling, teenage criminals around.
