"and our elected critters should actively legislate and decide what is and isn't acceptable on those media" Our elected officials can't do crap, don't do crap, and won't do crap. They are lip service and beholden to corps, on both sides of the aisle. The reality is we are fucked either way and our Corporate Overlords are slowly becoming embolden enough to creep out from the shadows as to how much control they really have. Fuck the government until they can give a shit about something other than their own power/status.

Ok, I'm all for freedom of information, but the places list has me befuddled. It accomplishes nothing except show what the US thinks it needs to protect better. Now add on, that the guy who wants to show all this information (Assange) is hiding from an arrest warrant. I go back to the old adage there is nothing such as altruism. Everyone, including Assange, is looking for an edge to gain position in the world, just like the mainstream media, and the governments out there. You think Assange doesn't want power, then you are just kidding yourself.
