Wikileaks: Not all leaks are created equal
My following essay appears today in Online Opinion: The Obama administration is pursuing Wikileaks and its Australian founder Julian Assange for alleged criminal activity in releasing classified documents.

Wikileaks; Israel and Egypt making sweet love over torture table

As he outrages and embarrasses world leaders by leaking secret US diplomatic cables – and continues to face down allegations of sex offences – Mr Assange has been chosen by the foundation…
Australian PM continues to smear Wikileaks
Our embarrassing clown in chief: Prime Minister Julia Gillard says she cannot – and will not – make Julian Assange’s legal problems go away. But like any Australian citizen, she says the WikiLeaks founder is welcome to return home once they do. Mr Assange, in London fighting an extradition order to Sweden where he awaits…
