Doesn't matter? Is this your argument? A complete dismissal of everything said to the contrary, and a simple statement that nothing matters but what you say?

You realize that, to be able to track down these so-called "internet nerds" and stop their distribution of this material, and others, the world's governments will need to employ other "internet nerds" to do so, right? An Israeli commando isn't sitting at a computer with his gun slung over his back tracking them on AIM.

You have absolutely no idea how Wikileaks is structured or how its source is releasing this information to them. The "internet nerd" that founded and runs the organization (if you can even call it that) is an extremely intelligent man, a computer programmer, and also a hacker. Independent hackers are some of the best on the planet -- in many cases, probably the majority, better than those employed by governments to oppose them.

These "internet nerds" are sure doing a good job keeping information from the US right now, eh? I wonder when Jason Bourne will come after them. . . .
