A Shameless Appeal

This morning I depart from my usual blog topics. I read some stunning news. "Wikileaks has released nearly a billion dollars worth of quasi-secret reports commissioned by the United States Congress. The 6,780 reports, current as of this month, comprise over 127,000 pages of material on some of the most contentious issues in the nation ..." It is absolutely outrageous that our government used tax money to pay for these reports and then withheld them from us.

In case you don't know, Wikileaks is a free public service that publishes leaked documents from all over the world. I think that Wikileaks represents the Internet and an optimistic future at its very best. It is a noble endeavor.

I just sent a small donation to Wikileaks via Paypal. I urge you to do likewise. They are appealing for donations right now, and I can't think of a more deserving cause.
