wikileaks' unauthorized release of confidential diplomatic documents leaves politicians globally scrambling to repair fences and salvage some national dignity. the way i see it, there are two separate issues here.
there is the issue of freedom of speech and the legality of leaking classified documents and the morality of julian assange.
the more immediate issue, i say, is why we the world over pay our diplomats and politicians so handsomely to be indiscreet embarrassing gossips. someone needs to tell the über-politician, watch your tongue, it is a consuming fire.
