The whistle blowing website wikileaks has been receiving a lot of attention recently. WikiLeaks is a website that publishes leaks which are usually political. Recently it has been in the news fro publishing over 250,000 cables sent confidentially to and fro from US embassies. They claim their motive is to arm people with the weapon of knowledge and to be honest despite global criticism I agree with them. It is quite impressive that WikiLeaks have managed to obtain such confidential data but believe that people have a right to know. Certain publications, such as the footage released the past April, of civilians and journalists being shot by US personnel are horrifying and chilling to know that the US knew about it and tried to conceal it.
