Wikileaks raises a lot of questions about journalism ethics. It was said that in its short time Wikileaks has released more scoops than the Washington Post!
This documentary is an hour long but fascinating and definitely worth a watch, but be warned some of the footage may be a bit upsetting for some.
What ethical standard should we apply to Assange? I would have said he was a kind of revolutionary and not a journalist, but I read last night in the Economist that he compares himself to a "radical pamphleteer" of the 18th Century sort. Perhaps that's another way to say revolutionary.
