Last weekend, rather than read stories about the US diplomatic cables that Wikileaks has released, I decided to read them directly myself. In doing so, I better understood why no one -- certainly not the US State Department -- is going to shove those cables back into the darkness.

Naomi Wolf: Espionage Act: How the Government Can Engage in Serious Aggression Against the People of the United States

Activating the Espionage Act is an act of profound aggression against the American people because we are all Julian Assange. Under this act, anyone who publishes or discusses WikiLeaks material can be arrested.

Josh Mull: Journalism Is Not an Attack, Wikileaks Is Not Warfare

If you support Wikileaks, if you support transparency, accountability, or even just basic free speech, you should not be playing into the government's semantic game that presents itself as a victim, and Wikileaks as an attacker.

Don't forget kids that patriotic outfit Amazon that bailed on hosting Wiki Leaks, will sell the first series to you for $23.94. That makes it commerce and that's A OK with Americans.

Wikileaks- Enlightening the naive and sheltered , one basement at a time!

Very little new information in these documents so far. Maybe he's going for the big finish.

So I take it that you think that the US operates in a perfectly honourable way and the corruption and lies that Assange is exposing to the light of day is all made up stuff and/or not really that bad. Like the US tax dollars involvement in child sex trafficking? http://humantrafficking.change.org/blog/view/wikileaks_reveals_us_tax_dollars_fund_child_sex_slavery_in_afghanistan And let's not forget the video of the journalists (or was it UN workers) being mowed down by American military?http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2010/04/05/wikileaks-releases-video-of-us-choppers-slaying-reporters-civilians/

Personally, I think that it's high time that the US government is called to account for the multitude of abuses and deceit that it is party to. You want to pat yourself on the back for being a citizen of a democratic, freedom loving, compassionate country, then start acting like one. As it stands, America is behaving more along the lines of the old Russia with it's non-democratic, freedom killing and selfish KGB operatives.
