Wikileaks must-reads


In case you haven't run into it, a seminal piece of commentary on Wikileaks and Julian Assange's mission is here--it's a long essay but well worth the read, and--BONUS--even makes a reference to The Wire (you can read the interesting account of how this obscure blog post came to dominate the commentariat here).

In general, you will want to keep up with Glenn Greenwald, who is the gold standard in civil rights advocacy. I have also found NYU Journalism professor Jay Rosen to be insightful.

Also, the Atlantic has a post that contains a general summary of Wikileaks and a timeline of events so far, which you may find useful.

For continuing news on Wikileaks, Assange, and the revelations from the cables themselves, the best place to check is the Guardian.
