Reply #10: Real change always takes courage and causes a lot of anxiety [View All]

for people who, even though they know the status quo is not working, feel more comfortable NOT getting involved in what it will take to make things better.

Wikileaks, unless the idea gets corrupted as the rest of our media has, will bring huge changes to the world. Imagine a world where the people are actually informed about what their governments are doing.

Had Wikileaks existed in 2000 eg, Bush might not have stolen the election. Had it existed even shortly after that, as Colleen Rowley has said, 9/11 could have been presented as she and other Federal Agents would have had somewhere to publish what they knew about the impending terrorist attack on this country.

It can change history, force politicians to either be more honest or force them into attempting to be even more secretive, something that would be very difficult when they know there is always a possibility of their nefarious deeds being exposed.

The rise of evil leadership around the world today has been facilitated by the lack of a free press, they controlled the press.

Like everything else, the idea behind Wikileaks could be coopted, but for now it is serving an invaluable purpose.
