In my opinion, I think the public should know everything the government is trying so desperately to hide. If we have the right to vote for someone who will rule our government, then we should also know all the facts before actually voting. If we continue living by a government who keeps its people blind to the truth, how can we really trust anyone? I think now that the government's secrets have been revealed, more people will start thinking clearly and vote for someone who can rule, without lies.
If I recieved information that was important for the public to know, I would still release it, ignoring the theats of the government. The world will never change for the better if everyone is afraid of the government, and it's the brave few who understand this and are willing to do what's right.
If I had information that I really wanted the public to know, I would send it to Wikileaks because people would actually find the information there. However, if I was more concerned about my own safety, I would send the information to Openleaks, and be out of the public eye and unknown to the government.

This article is cleverly named, "Julian Assange gets a stone through his glass house", and is about how some people believe he is a hero, and others believe he doesn't care who he hurts along the way of reaching his goal. I believe Julian Assange is closer to a hero then a "shameless brat" as the article states. He's trying to show the public how we can not trust a government if they continue to behave this way, and in my opinion, the world should be a little bit more like him, instead of cowards, too afraid to bite the hand that feeds them.
