My take-aways from the latest Wikileaks leaks:
1. The Wikileaks guy is neither the menace to civilization and international peace that he's made out to be, nor the people's hero he fancies himself to be. He strikes me as nothing so much as a kid who never outgrew his high school newspaper rants against the principal.
2. The world of diplomacy will survive all these leaks with nothing worse than a bunch of embarrassed people who counted on their snide and cynical handling of important world events being their own little secret.
3. All in all, it's probably a good thing that everyone has had their noses rubbed in the fact that nothing can be kept from the masses anymore. Remember that, you who financed the Republican "tsumnami' that was supposedly such a "mandate" in last month's elections. See who benefits, as Walter Szobczak said. "Follow the money." ("I am the walrus," said Donny). People will wise up once they stop crowing about how we're gonna shrink government and cut taxes. When that doesn't happen, they'll first of all blame Obama and Pelosi, then once they've been drubbed and Palin is pesident and they're still in foreclosure on their homes with flat screen TV's... Then they'll take the trouble to find out who was behind it all.
4. Anyone who thinks the guy is really a rapist because the Swedish prosecutors coincidentally found two women to come forward with accusations right after the last leaks: I have a great scheme to make money working from home that I want to tell you about. C'mon, the same powers that be that are being made to look foolish in all these documents now want us to believe that this guy is a crazed psychopath who threatens world order. Yeah.
