The hunt is getting close to its objective, closing down the source of embarrassing emails and memo – WikiLeaks. Today, rather than debate the nature of real politiks as revealed but slightly in the WikiLeaks cables the world is distracted by the pursuit of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. For the new generations, this is might seem [...] Tightening the screws on WikiLeaks ahead of the planned release of secret bank files and after its release of US diplomatic memos is part of a concerted campaign to prevent the disclosure of information deemed unsuitable for public consumption. Unsuitable? On what basis? No one is denying the things published by WikiLeaks are true, only that [...] Remember when the west was sitting on a high moral horse and criticising mainland China for its repressive internet policy?
