Forget parking garages tomorrow's Deep Throat can go wiki.

[Capn Amerika]

A new Web site that aims to encourage large-scale leaking of confidential governemnt documents by allowing confidential disclosure could launch as early as next month...

Beneath a quotation from famed Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg, www.Wikileaks.org says it seeks to increase government transparency around the world by using “an uncensorable version of Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis.”

Founded by a group that includes technologists and Chinese dissidents, Wikileaks would promote democracy and prevent corruption, and is aimed primarily at oppressive foreign regimes, according to organizers. But the site says it also wants “to be of service to those in the West who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their own government and corporations.”

2. I support this, but...

...it's creepy that with all the information which WAS available about Bush in 2004, he managed to stay in office, and with all the information available since then, 30% of Americans approve of the job he's doing.

3. I know it's hard for us to imagine.....

Perhaps there are 30% of Americans without internet access who also aren't curious as long as things seem to be going "ok". Perhaps it's mostly people with only the "liberal media" for information.
