If Google-In-China Was Evil, What Is U.S. vs Wikileaks?

Hillary, quit playing Kissinger.

According to Elsberg:

“That’s a script that they roll out every time there’s a leak of any sort,” he said.

It is not leaks, but “silences and lies” that put people’s lives in danger, he believes.

And he’s right. Wikileaks is the samizdat of the present 21st century world.

Jeff Jarvis gets it while everyone else plays the role they were handed while walking on set:

The same kind of attacks on publishing that the U.S. (even unto Hillary Clinton) has repeatedly condemned China, Russia (and the former U.S.S.R.), and many others for launching. The behavior of many Wikileaks detractors and defamers defines hypocrisy.

Do we stand against tyranny, or WHAT?
