Wikileaks Hurts Government Openness

Mr Bill Keller, former editor of The New York Times, gets it right about Julian Assange, the head of Wikileaks

Here’s the paradox the documentaries have overlooked so far:  The most palpable legacy of the WikiLeaks campaign for transparency is that the U.S. government is more secretive than ever.

Mr Assange is no hero.  He is a world class jerk.  Yes, information wants to be free.  But it shouldn't want to hurt the innocent or those on the side of the angels.
