A New Yorker article on Wikileaks’ heroic Julian Paul Assange asserts: “But, unlike authoritarian regimes, democratic governments hold secrets largely because citizens agree that they should, in order to protect legitimate policy.”
This is one of the biggest crocks in modern history.
Wikileaks is doing more to promote self-government than the vast majority of liberal publications that kowtow to government coverups.

Your note aptly the reservoir of stupidity at the core of the New Yorker project. Would that American conservatives be aware of their own various crocks.
