i know wiki is still running, i just get the feeling it's era has ended. there'll always be whistle-blowers, there always was.
the truth is that very often what they expose is forgotten very quickly. the cablegate leaks already feel bland and nothing of note. any new ones that come out are treated with malaise.
non of it was comparable to watergate and the like, nothing there that will bring down a president. nothing there really that will make a difference to anything, except maybe the laws pertaining to freedom of the press and future whistle blowers. sometimes an action can have an adverse effect, i think this is one of those occasions. i hope his film does well.
