While not every disclosure by Wikileaks may be in Western interests - and I want to see the West prosper - I believe they're performing an essential role. Politics and power are nasty business' and no matter the temporary pain these leaks are causing they serve a higher purpose and that is to expose some of the "back-room deals" that are normally hidden from a population at large. Corruption is the issue, I sure as hell don't want to live in China but I don't think my governments actions are all roses either. The public interest is served by reporting candidly on what has actually taken place. Wikileaks has pulled back a layer of double-speak and should be thanked for doing so. I trust that a healthy democracy can only grow stronger with the light of truth.
