A Lesson in Irony
-
The U.S. can't/won't do anything to shut down the wikileaks website for distributing classified documents, however, if that site were distributing free music or movies, the site would be shut down REALLY fast.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

That's capitalism baby. government bad and never good; companies good never bad.
That's called seagull management (or sometimes pigeon management)... Fly in, flap your arms and squawk a lot, crap all over everything and fly out again... by _Damian S_

Where is the irony? It is just another sign of the power of the "almighty dollar". While the leaks are arguably causing damage, it's still business as usual in the world today.

Yeah I guess you're right.

The sad thing is no one is really surprised. It just confirms the crassness of governments at work ares being the most powerful at the moment. People who think Obama is all that different from Bush when it comes to overseas should look up what Jeremy Skayhill has been publishing. If anything he's made things worse on the Afghan/Paki border. This is just proof of that. He's toned his words down here at home for the Democratic base, but doesn't do anything differently abroad. It's mostly just Kabuki theater. I found a very dead to dream thinking comment in a acticle[^] about accepting the world for what it is. That particular sentiment is what keeps the US from solving its own problems, that's defeatist.

That's because too many people will be pissed off if wikileaks is shutdown. People like wikileaks because they are fighting the government.

There's also the bit where Wikileaks hasn't done anything technically illegal. At least according to the last few bits I've seen on the matter.

Really? You mean according to international law, or US law?

More or less from the reviews I've seen. Since there's no solid reason for any of the released documents to have been secret, there's nothing to prosecute on that end. The person who leaked them may as well paint a target on their ass, but that's a different angle. Aside from vague handwave about putting lives at risk, there have not been any solid reasons given, and handwaving doesn't get far in court.
