How not to gain respect for your cause
Wikileaks provides a rare infusion of actual facts into political debate, though many would rather they just shut up. One group has come to Wikileaks' defense over the last few months, in spite of actual arrests being made against its members: Anonymous. While I applaud their enthusiasm for a just cause, they're just embarrassing themselves and their cause. Petty vandalism against the opposition does not look noble. It's juvenile, and it distracts from the real issues just as much as the mainstream media's perverse obsession with Julian Assange's personality.

ReplyDeleteThere's nothing worse than looking like a bunch of 3rd graders fighting it out in a political debate. --Sorry, my last comment was for a different blog.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. It is important to remember that some of the information on wiki leaks was more than just petty theft. There were people who worked on classified projects who believed that they could now talk about them because a small part of the info was on the internet.
