All focus is on Assange, not on the content of the material. Well, perhaps there are many right now sitting at desks high in the sky poring over them letter by letter. I'm sure. But the media, the government. Their reactions have been interesting. Actually, they've been frightening. It seems that we the people are expected to give up every sort of privacy in our dear war on terrorism. To the point that I must allow some goon at the airport to grope my crotch if I want to fly. However, those in the government live so much in secrecy that they can't conceive of living in the open. I see fear on old Hillary's face when she speaks, and it seems to be a personally felt fear. That is, not fear of some abstraction in the future. I swear, she almost looked like a lizard when she spoke out against Assange; her eyes were large, they darted; her skin looked pale, she seemed a little breathless. The most interesting thing about all of this is that it seems to be bringing the rope in tighter around us. Who's surprised? Any excuse. Our freedom shrinks to nearly nothing. They have reacted with knee-jerk quickness. New "Patriot Acts" to follow. Taking any bets?
