I agree. Wikileaks has perhaps unnecessarily made a mess with its latest reveals, but its existence is and will be important and valuable as an outlet where information of true significance that cannot appear directly in traditional media can be published.
The push to damage-control over the revelations is understandable but the disproportionate efforts to destroy the website and cut its funding are a reprehensible attack on media freedom. Traditional media should not be so eager in supporting the government in destroying an source of potentially vital information.
