On the one hand, it's good that news that needs to get out gets out. On the other, I can't help thinking how easy it is to rustle up a lynch mob these days.
Still, it's good to see how modern technology has allowed ordinary people a) to access to such censored documents, and b) to gain access to those who are willing to do the research to obtain a, and advertise such. Without it I'd just be reading the Guardian, getting fairly outraged. In fact, I probably wouldn't have heard about it, as I wouldn't have flicked through the Guardian had it not been online (I don't like it so much to spend one pound on a paper when I'm generally only interested in a couple of articles, on average).
It's a step in the right direction. Not the whole solution, just yet.
