Re: Wikileaks

Those are just the loudest voices at the moment.  I'm wondering, where are the 
juicy bits that would justify someone to turn whistleblower?  Where are the docs 
to prove that Soylent Green is really people?  It would be a shame to waste such 
an opportunity on something merely embarrassing.

It is interesting to hear that there is overwhelming sentiment against Wikileaks 
in the US.

From the comments I have read on newspaper articles about Wikileaks here in 
Australia, I would think a majority of people here (maybe about 75%) are 
supportive.

Personally, I think there is good and bad in what Julian Assange and his team 
are doing, but that the good definitely outweighs the bad.

Wayne Eddy.
