Computers and the Internet Keeping secrets about a huge breach of secrecy
Journalists from Wired magazine are defending their decision to keep secret some of the documents they have about how the Wikileaks documents found their way from the US government to the broader Internet. The real problem with the leaked documents isn't so much that someone published them, but that someone who had access to them and knew better than to release them did so anyway -- that's the real crime.
