Don't Look!

It's been pretty obvious what I think of WikiLeak and the leakers.

That said, should the government be allowed to strongly, strongly urge that people who work for them not look at the publicly available material? Put another way, if something is public, however it got that way, should people be able to read it without harm to themselves?

I kind of think yes, but I'm not sure. Certainly, proscecute the scum that put it out -- and not all revealed secrets mean the leaker is scum, not even all of these, but some? Yes -- but once they're there?

Should be legal.

They can urge all they want...but this IS a free country and they better not follow them home or wikileaks will make this a much scarier place to live.

Not as free as it used to be. And getting less so every year.
