They’re not under the same rules and regulations, and the fact of the matter here isn’t “news is being suppressed” but that “a lot of government information has been released without permission.”

It’s the press’s job to do what WikiLeaks has done. I have a feeling that if it wasn’t for WikiLeaks, the press wouldn’t be covering anything in it – but really, what has it done other than make America look bad to it’s associates, and publish military information?

Most interesting/aggravating – no one cared when a plethora of information was published by wikileaks that “could endanger the troops” – but man, publish America’s true feelings about its allies, and they want Julian’s head on a platter. Misplaced priorities, maybe?

I’m not saying I fully understand the situation, but I think what WikiLeaks has done could’ve been handled better (by all parties) but also was necessary to point out what a JOKE the modern media/press has become.
