I assume that everyone here believes in freedom of speech and individual rights of expression which includes sexuality!! Please read below:
Incredible - nearly 400,000 signatures in one day for press freedom!
Dear friends,
The chilling intimidation campaign against WikiLeaks (when they have broken no laws) is an attack on freedom of the press and democracy. We urgently need a massive public outcry to stop the crackdown -- let's get to 1 million voices and take out full page ads in US newspapers this week!
The massive campaign of intimidation against WikiLeaks is sending a chill through free press advocates everywhere.
Legal experts say WikiLeaks has likely broken no laws. Yet top US politicians have called it a terrorist group and commentators have urged assassination of its staff. The organization has come under massive government and corporate attack, but WikiLeaks is only publishing information provided by a whistleblower. And it has partnered with the world's leading newspapers (NYT, Guardian, Spiegel etc) to carefully vet the information it publishes.
The massive extra-judicial intimidation of WikiLeaks is an attack on democracy. We urgently need a public outcry for freedom of the press and expression. Sign the petition to stop the crackdown and forward this email to everyone -- let's get to 1 million voices and take out full page ads in US newspapers this week!

WikiLeaks isn't acting alone -- it's partnered with the top newspapers in the world (New York Times, The Guardian, Der Spiegel, etc) to carefully review 250,000 US diplomatic cables and remove any information that it is irresponsible to publish. Only 800 cables have been published so far. Past WikiLeaks publications have exposed government-backed torture, the murder of innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, and corporate corruption.
The US government is currently pursuing all legal avenues to stop WikiLeaks from publishing more cables, but the laws of democracies protect freedom of the press. The US and other governments may not like the laws that protect our freedom of expression, but that's exactly why it's so important that we have them, and why only a democratic process can change them.
Reasonable people can disagree on whether WikiLeaks and the leading newspapers it's partnered with are releasing more information than the public should see. Whether the releases undermine diplomatic confidentiality and whether that's a good thing. Whether WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has the personal character of a hero or a villain. But none of this justifies a vicious campaign of intimidation to silence a legal media outlet by governments and corporations. Click below to join the call to stop the crackdown:

Ever wonder why the media so rarely gives the full story of what happens behind the scenes? This is why - because when they do, governments can be vicious in their response. And when that happens, it's up to the public to stand up for our democratic rights to a free press and freedom of expression. Never has there been a more vital time for us to do so.
With hope,
Ricken, Emma, Alex, Alice, Maria Paz and the rest of the Avaaz team.

uummm so where does that in the heading to this post?? just so i know smile
Rosey-Posey....just so excited that someone replied that I can't think straight right now! I'll get back to you on that once I regain my composure lol
If we don't support freedom of information then sooner or later our freedom of speech and then our freedom of action becomes imperiled....so if we think we have the right to be on Swingers Heaven....or a club....or whatever then we also have the duty to support things like wikileaks. That's my take anyhow! Does that explain where I am coming from? I am frequently wrong so if you disagree - go for it! wink Afterall, there could be people here who support the right to have secrets and so, despise what wikileaks tries to do....who knows?
what if someone leaked all the data/info from this site?

hmm....that's one of the reasons why I thought it would be a good discussion to have in here. My thoughts are that SH data wouldn't really interest many people

leaking information from Governments is a lot different than leaking information from a site like this
Information for a site like this is hardly in the publics best interest to know what is going on. It is in the best interest of the community to know what their elected leaders are doing/planning to do, or how they have done somethings they maybe shouldn't have done.
If the elected officials have done nothing wrong then there is nothing at all to worry about.

I think I could for a while but not forever.

What about if they were playing together on cam lol! They used to get very friendly on the today show in the mornings so anything is possible.

"Tony's been a very naughty boy this morning" LOL hump
we elect gov't officaials to make decisions we either don't want to make or can't be bothered to make they then make these decisions and if the think the public needs to know then share it with us. we put them there to insure our countries safety and security if that involves keeping things secret then thats the job we elected them for. Wikileaks is not a terriost group but it doesn't need or deserve my support, or anyones support, but thats my opinion, its groups like these that put people who dedicate their lives to serving our respective countries in secret by naming them as special forces operatives!
