Yes, let the sun shine in.

Generally, I'm for full disclosure of what goes on behind the scenes. Especially in government. And in much of private business, too. Especially in big corporations. So I'm mostly supportive of the guy that founded WikiLeaks. This week, he released copies of hundreds of thousands of U. S. diplomatic cables. Which give us some sense of what diplomats really think. About lots of things. Issues. And personalities. Some of the stuff may be a bit embarrassing. But hey, so what? Most of the time, we ordinary citizens don't get the straight scoop. About why our government does this or that. So much is classified as secret. And there probably are legitimate reasons to keep some of it secret. But not the vast majority of it. So, good for you, WikiLeaks. Keep leaking the stuff. WikiLeaks has indicated that next up will be the leaking of incriminating documents from a major bank. Yes, let the sun shine in. --Jim Broede
