Wikileaks - Baap of all leaks

This was quite a hectic month, at least for me. So many things happened this week. But to be frank I like to be busy as It makes me think less about all the troubles in life. Last month was very special as there very lot of new things happened, which we never imagined were happen, at least not in our lifetime.

Biggest news in terms of the impact were revelation on wikileaks. Some of you would argue that there are leaks of Conversation Tapes of Radia regarding the Telecom scam, why am I not writing on this. I also agree that this scam is big but I would say that Telecom is corruption scam and leaks are related to it. But if you consider the Wikileaks, its been the international politics of Americans which actually touches our daily lives. This leak of information is really a eyeopener for many Historians and Pandits so. let it be.. :)

I have been once went to that site as I came to know about it. It was really amazing how secret documents can be easily seen on the net. I myself tried to read about the document related to India. There was one document but it wasn't so confidential so I let it go.

I think many of you might now know about this because when my friend read about my blog while I was writing. He asked this question 'What is this Wikileaks?'. I thought of explaining him about it but I myself had little knowledge about it. So I tried to open the site but As expected after so much of noise in the world media, the site has been blocked.

Let me brief about wikileaks
WikiLeaks is an international non-profit media organization that publishes submissions of otherwise unavailable documents from anonymous news sources and leaks. Its website, launched in 2006, is run by The Sunshine Press. Within a year of its launch, the site claimed a database that had grown to more than 1.2 million documents.

While doing some research on this blog I found a very interesting article in the Economic times where they have reported that Wikileaks going to publish the US Secret documents related to the the UFO's. Its been the greatest mystery of all, the existence of these aliens. There may not be anything new but its worth waiting for these documents.

One can debate the real impact of these on International politics. The world view about the Americans is not at all good these days after Iraq and Afghanistan wars but after this its been reached very low. The biggest secrets in-terms of we Indian is revelations about Pakistan. It could be the top secrets for US Government but for an ordinary Indian we knew all which came from these documents.

The growth of the website has sparked major debate on whether the website has been acting in the public good or whether it could potentially endanger the public specially US Citizens. Whatever it may be but he has done the biggest damage to the US diplomacy around the world. There are some secrets which are good if they are remain that way but who knew that a insider would download these documents and publish is on the web. The about of information is so huge that there publish hundreds of documents at time. Even though it is too much information to soak in. The TV channels who were spent whole weeks churning on a single story. On this much information they would insure sure shot news feed for entire life time.

Question may prop in your head that why is this important. Whats the use of leaking the secret documents. What impact it would have on our lives because information is generated when two government interact each other. But do we really needs to take these leaks very seriously, it is really the information or the perspectives of the individual diplomats working in these countries. There can be a debate on this but one thing is sure, the world politics is not going to be the same as it was in the past.

So lets wait for more leaks
