Wikileaks

Wikileaks is an international non-profit organization that releases private, secret, and classified media from anonymous news sources, news leaks, and whistleblowers. Under the Freedom of Information Act what Wikileaks is doing is legal and I think it is very important to have as well. While some missions deserved to be censored to protect undercover soldiers operations, we as a people deserve to know what our governments our doing. What Wikileaks is doing is completely justified and the U.S. government has no right trying to take it down. Their determination to get rid of Wikileaks just shows to the people of the world that they have something to hide, some things they don’t want the public to know about. Information like the US Embassy Diplomatic Cables is essential in helping the general public know what their government is really doing and by knowing this they are able express their anger and frustration which will pressure governments into doing the right thing because they can no longer commit unjust and inhumane actions without the public knowing about it. Wikileaks, a step forward in the world of journalism and the world of right.
