but I support Wikileaks' challenge to the excessive control by our government over the information we may and may not have access to. Our government has become far too paranoid, far too secretive, and Wikileaks challenged that trend and showed us just how extreme it is. So that is what I like about Wikileaks.

I respect the need to keep true national security secrets. Our government is way overdoing the secrecy. It is not healthy for our democratic institutions.
