To be honest, I'm surprised there wasn't a thread for this topic yet.

I'm about to go to bed, so I won't start the discussion off with my own views (which, frankly, will be fairly predictable), but I'll ask a few questions:

1. How relevant are Assange's sex charges to the whole discussion of Wikileaks?

2. How fair or unfair are the governmental backlashes against Wikileaks and Assange (especially from the U.S. government and Australia; I think those two have made the most noteworthy responses)?
----2a. What about the threats and calls to violence made by many high profile U.S. Right-wingers? (Please inform me if similar such statements have been made by anyone outside of the U.S.-Right... I'd be just as appalled, I just haven't seen any.)

3. Has Wikileaks done anything wrong?
