~~Conference I attended~~

One of the hot news over the past few weeks were the release of classified documents by wiki leaks. This has rang alarm bells in many governments across the world. We even got a mail not to discuss this in public forums and our dean later clarified the schools position. Today our school arranged a conference regarding wiki leaks inviting the dean of law school,director of journalism,two foreign policy experts and a professor who have served in Iraq and Afganistan.

From laws point of view whatever the site has done can't be prosecuted in the court.From the media point of view there were few compromises on how few individuals names mentioned cable would cause trouble to them.Then there the governments point of view and need to declassify documents as 99% percent of them are more of business as usual.From a diplomatic side there are strains in relations between countries due to release of these cables.

From my point of view there should be more transparency in the way governments run ,there is no need for wikileaks!
