An interesting battle is taking place. Wikileaks has effectively washed away any veneer of respectability our leaders have. It has forever changed the face of international diplomacy and journalism. There is no protection against your own people leaking information out in the belief that they are doing well. Wikileaks has proven that publication of leaks is effective and more people will come forward.
