Wikileaks is the best thing to happen to the internet since the internet. For too long the common pleb has to been fed the 'news' (ie biased bullshit) from twp sources: the government and their bum-chums the corporations. It's going to be even more interesting when Wikileaks starts releasing corporate leaks.
If it serves to enlighten people that corporations have become the de facto world government for at least the last twenty years, then the leaks will have been the most important journalistic product in my lifetime. If they help people understand that we are living in a post-government, post-sovereignty world where the corporation is the only meaningful power (and help people act accordingly) then 20 years from now, we will look back at Wikileaks as the most important development in the history of the Internet.
Or, we'll look back as Wikileaks being the end of the Internet.
Anyway, given the success they've had with catching the Taliban, Assange should have at least a good 8-9 years ahead of him.
