I note in passing that wikipedia is not an unbiased source; but wikileaks was open for a slightly more focused reason: to get the word out to people via the Web regarding things like the Rules of Engagement in Iraq, the effect of bank fraud on Kenya's recent elections, and other unsavory bits of data various and sundry governments and corporations want to keep a lid upon.
