This from the WSJ tends to give credence to the foregoing:
Julian Assange, Information Anarchist
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange hopes to hobble the U.S. government.

Whatever else WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has accomplished, he's ended the era of innocent optimism about the Web. As wiki innovator Larry Sanger put it in a message to WikiLeaks, "Speaking as Wikipedia's co-founder, I consider you enemies of the U.S.�not just the government, but the people."
The irony is that WikiLeaks' use of technology to post confidential U.S. government documents will certainly result in a less free flow of information. The outrage is that this is Mr. Assange's express intention. |
