WikiLeaks: a digital Robin Hood
Cats: culture|… Stealing from the information rich and giving to the information poor.
Whether WikiLeaks founder goes down as a hero or a villain has yet to be seen.
But he has lifted the lid on Pandora’s Box. And it will be hard to screw it back down again, even if Julian Assange is thrown in jail.
The diplomatic information business is facing the same scenario as the music industry did ten years ago when people started helping themselves.
Here is my column on the subject. It should be live for another week.

Gail, you posted and I didn’t even have to prompt you. Wow, I see progress. lol
I could not agree more with your article. I want as much information as I can handle, but of course never at the risk of anyone in any way.
I’m old-school enough to believe that we don’t need every bit of information out there, and it’s probably for our benefit.
Great job posting!
