    Wikileaks.org - A Wiki For Leaked Documents

    wikileaks

    Wikipedia is one of the most popular destinations on the web today, and wikis that deal with specific issues have surfaced over time. In this particular case, untraceable mass document leaking and analysis is the basic premise. As it is pointed out online, the main aim of this solution is to expose oppressive and totalitarian regimes all over the world, but the system also lends itself to people of all nations wishing to reveal inappropriate and unethical behavior by elected representatives.

    Wikileaks, then, provides people and agencies the world over with a forum and a framework for the scrutiny and the discussion of documents that deserve to be explained to be general public, and put into context.

    The team behind the project believes that transparency in government activities decreases corruption and leads to stronger and truly reliable democracy models. It is difficult not to agree with this philosophy, and it is a fact that until not so long ago related documentation and information had a high cost. Nowadays, technology makes for anonymity when it comes to submitting information as sensitive as the one in question, and a resource such as Wikileaks makes the whole process easier and safer from start to finish.

    In their own words

    “Wikileaks is developing an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. Our primary interest is in exposing oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we are of assistance to people of nations who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their governments and corporations.”

    Why it might be a killer

    It provides individuals the world over with a better understanding of the way things shape up in the corridors of power.
