These leaks spell doom for web freedom [Rees-Mogg re Wikileaks]

... the publication of 250,000 American diplomatic cables by WikiLeaks... demonstrates that it is no longer possible to rely on the confidentiality of any sources, government or otherwise.

...It is interesting that the newspapers that have been most closely involved in the transmission of the WikiLeaks files have been high-minded newspapers of the Left, such as The Guardian and the New York Times.

...The damage to the diplomatic process has been disproportionate to the public benefit.

...For the past 20 years there has been very little regulation of the cyber world....Governments will fight back with new regulations.

Don’t kid yourself. As long as he comes out smelling like a rose, he doesn’t give a crap if America or anyone else is harmed by the leaks. He’s awfully quiet about it. Maybe he’s afraid if he says anything, they will release the parts about him that they promised not to release. I wouldn’t put anything past him.

Further concerning this article, Lord Rees-Mogg is a real heavyweight, who doesn’t write too often these days. He wrote some VERY interesting stuff during the clinton years, when almost everyone else in the press was either shilling for clinton or heading for the hills.
