    Wikileaks is not aiming to solely expose newsworthy nuggets. It does that too, but it also just provides a leak, which makes it very difficult for secrecy to continue to be transmitted across established routes. It could just be a list of the sandwiches ordered for a meeting, it doesn't matter, the point is that the powers that be know that their network is not secure, and that makes it hard to trust, which affects communication efficacity.

    • Sure. But that public service ("hey, tighten your security") isn't what it's about either. I'd say it's more about fixing what's wrong.Peter

    • Its not in the name of public service, its in the name of disrupting the channels of secrecy to hamper secret flow.Spookytim
    • Its making it impossible to be 'secret'. The secret network has to start shutting itself down.Spookytim
