But it might make a big difference for Morgan Tsvangirai and the people of Zimbabwe. But as long as there is freedom of information via wikileaks, I guess that’s OK with you?

This “nothing can be done” attitude is getting old quick.

I did not say that it’s okay with me. I just don’t think that Tsvangirai ever had a realistic chance of winning an actual, fair election against Mugabe.

And: Nothing can be done about this new leaky world being leaky. The technology is out there, it’s not like WikiLeaks has patented it. Like file-sharing, this is just going to be a part of the world we live in, now. If there is anything to be done, I would rather look at Manning and how he was able to get those documents.
