Wikileaks: Apparently Assange Doesn’t Hide as Well as Hussein

Today, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange turned himself in in London after a world-wide manhunt was launched in light of the most recent Wikileaks postings.  I have watched with some sense of wonder as this tech-happy group of renegade IT people, led by Mr. Assange, have gleefully “outed” politicians and policies over the past weeks and months.  It’s a difficult thing to comprehend, even in discussions with myself.  In theory, I fully support the freedom of the press, and have hopes for transparency in government.  However, in reality, it’s my belief that this type of backroom policy-making, and under-the-breath muttering have gone on long before Wikileaks, computers or even snail mail.  In fact, it’s probably gone on since the beginning of time.  So, in some ways, Mr. Assange and his group of renegades are the ones breaking the rules — the established rules of politics and diplomacy.
