IMHO, this whole incident could be used as the reason du jour to crack down on the evvvviillll internet. Censorship. How convenient.

And some conservatives seem to be the ones begging for it. In the last few days I've seen FReepers saying the government should have no secrets which is pure idiocy that comes right out of ANSWER rally chants. On the other hand our govt has a tendency to overuse secrecy. Its not a simple black and white issue and kneejerk reactions will hurt us.

Its not a simple issue but one thing is very clear, we have leaks in our own government and Assange couldn't leak things if they weren't made available to him.
