It's common knowledge that all information transmitted in the U.S. and all information going out or arriving in the U.S. is intercepted and stored. The government doesn't read everything, but they have everything. And this is just one reason the transparency demands by Wikileaks is so important. We have the right to know what's going on. Just look where we are as a result of a few dragging us into wars, paying corporations to move their factories to foreign countries to take advantage of cheap labor and dumping their U.S. workforce, I think it's clear that secrecy - no transparency - has really screwed things up. Can't let this go on.
