The wealth of information that we have recently been learning is owed to WikiLeaks. I've attached a link ofrom the guardian and it summarizes it pretty well, it's long but worth the read.
WikiLeaks has been a catalyst for change worldwide. These cables have been exposing politicans and journalists misdeeds and therefore, people around the world have risen demanding their justice. it first began when there was a leaked US embassy cable, that in particular drew lots of attention worldwide. It revealed everything from the torture in India, to oil giant, to the U.S.'s efforts to force Spain to drop a murder investigation in the case of a Spanish cameraman killed by US soldiers. The cables have FINALLY turned the world inside out, enabling us all to see a more transparent government; the reality and the dirty of government and diplomacy.
Therefore, people have been using the cables for their benefit. In Tunisia, the people demanded justice and change and a revolution broke out because of Wikileaks. Thanks to Wikileaks regular human beings, like myself and activists around the world have now a better understanding of what is REALLY going on in the world.
We owe this BIG change to everyone who worked at WikiLeaks, and ofcourse an exceptional thank you to Julian Assange. people may hate you but i assure you there are x10 more that love you too, we're just less "powerful"
