Dan Gillmor: A few questions about the Wikileaks release.

And this is why I have trouble getting up in arms over anything Assinger has done. Condemning him for publishing these cables is like arresting someone for taking pictures from the street of an open window at a whore house with a cell phone and sending those pictures to one's buddies. If you don't want this stuff made public quit walking around naked with the shades all up.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
