For the curious, the current four digit passcode software lock offers 1,048,576 possible combinations. That’s probably good-enough for most people already accustomed to having to memorize PINs for their credit and debit cards, but I’d like to see this taken much further. A combination of facial recognition, bioelectrical impedance analysis and voice print identification could make an iPhone far more secure than it is today. It would certainly help sell to government customers after the WikiLeaks fiasco. [...]

As Wikileaks primarily uses the Internet as its channel, it is therefore using that as its medium. Wikileaks is simply a new source of information. As your article suggests it is a media middleman not a medium.

Again as Lucian says print media is dying and something will take it place. Print media may be dying but investigative journalism is not and what is taking print media’s place is the Internet media and that’s been happening for years.

As a journalist and former ‘medium’(newspaper) owner print and internet are just the forms of communication we use – the rest is all the same thing – information.

What Wikileaks is doing is creating a new more unrestrained form of information – this is what everyone is finding so interesting or dangerous depending on which side of the wall you sit.

Who would be the modern-day, neo-Tory, Benedict Arnold in our government and give away state and military secrets to antagonistic foreign governments and terrorist ? Who has such a hatred of our military and an antipathy towards our nationalistic, capitalistic republic? Who would rather have us ruled by some elite foreign House of lords rather than exist as an independant republic? I can think of two prime candidates;
For example, I think of a person who graduated from Yale with a “power to the people” revolutionary fist on their graduation gown. This person married an American who marched for the World Peace institute against our military in Vietnam ( but then, so did Senator Kerry). In the book, Kruschev remembers, Nikita Kruschev claimed that this World Peace Institute was a ruse and front for KGB propaganda, founded by Joseph Stalin. From there, their entire careers were renown for their dislike of our military and our national sovereignty. The UN always superceded America in their allegiance.
And who has the easy task of making President Obama as commander-in-chief and major treaty negotiator look inept, incompetent or even subversive? First our military plans and tactics were revealed, perhaps with the aid of someone in the Senate Armed Services Committee? Now, not only our soldiers, but anyone who cooperated with America will be on a hit list, either figuratively as in politics or in reality. The friends of America will now be assassinated , thanks to Wikileaks and their friend(s) and source(s) in the White House or in the State Department. Who would benefit from the enfeeblement of our President as both a world leader and a national one?
But could the source be a major, Trojan Horse, politician sent ti high offiice for the exact purpose of betraying America and its nationalistic, capitalistic, Constitutional republic ? Could this person’s sole agenda be to make America a mere fief and vasal state to an empire of elite, foreign aristocrats and plutocrats?
In any case, it is apparent Wikileaks has the collusion and cooperation of some high official(s) who are probably both liberal and Democrat.

For years and years, they haven’t been able to do an equal impact to that of Wikileaks. It is a shame of how Wikileaks is teaching all the news media of investigative journalism, if you will. Who wants to read WSJ or FT from now on…

The brown paper envelopes weren’t sold for such a high price.

Wikileaks is espionage for profit, so in that sense it is a new form of journalism which differs from the old form mainly in terms of its bottom line. I wonder if Assange is up-to-date on his taxes.

What it is is a prime example of the urgency of information security needs in corporate and government organizations.

Information assurance training can be taken online and prep individuals for high security positions.

It seems to me that Wikileaks is only the first step in the birth of a new, much more effective way to uncover/investigate stuff. Instead of reporters going after the truth, we’ll have the truth coming to reporters.

This is why we must make sure that Wikileaks, or more importantly, the idea of Wikileaks survives.
