As we are all aware WikiLeaks has become a very big issue. It has has caused great controversy concerning top secret information about governments around the world.
Julian Assange, the man behind WikiLeaks has been publishing these documents that no one has seen in a website that cannot be shut down. His main goals is to show the wolrd the truth about their governments. He is trying to tell us that our governments keep many things from us. Things that they think is best to be kept from their citizens but in reality what they are hiding is information that it is best for the citizens to see in order to find out how their government as well as their military really is.Videos of soldiers killing civilians and classified goverment documents are being exposed to public. After seeing those videos may only make us lose respect for our own country. The things seen in the video are not so pleasent to see. We experience real soldiers treating a real life sutiation as if it were a video game. The dialouge used by the soildiers is some what of a 14 year old boy playing call of duty. The U.S soulders were shooting innocent civilians one after the other. Some would say that the release of such information could cause great damage to people around the globe and could very well cause a war. And that may be true. Many people right now would love to see Julian behind bars, to stop him from creating a bigger problem. But he is an extremly smart man. Not many people out there have the intelligence nor the power to obtain suck confidential information. This information may or may not have changed the views of many people. Having seen all of the information may raise hate against the U.S as well as all the other countries whos information have been shown to the public. Julian is not an American and he is not in the U.S which keeps him safe from being caught and sent to prison. The U.S has no power to do anything to him , we are guaranteed our First Amendment Rights, which include Freedom of Speech and freedom of Press. As long as these rights are granted to us Wikileaks wont stop. In my opinion Julian is not doing anything wrong. Some may take this the wrong way but all he is trying to do is let the truth be shown. He just wants governments to be transparent and tell their citizents everything. Many may dissagree and say that those documents are kept for a reason and he has no buissines publishing them. But that exactly the point he is showing people thruths that they cannot handle.
