Yay linguistic argument!
I asked "how do you know it's working?" because I inferred from your comment "the documents they published are in the wild, and the diplomatic system still works." that you thought my previous comment of the system being screwed was in error and everything was hunky dory.
I can assume that a system built of secrecy and trust may well have suffered a set-back when that trust and secrecy is blown out of the water.
Can you point at "Craig Murray" as a case a little harder because i'm not sure of your point other than to highlight governments don't like it when diplomats are indiscrete.
I'ld take that wager and so will Assange seeing as he and the left wing press are linking the Wikileak publications to the Arab spring.
They've had education and internet in Arab countries for a long time.
But I grant you they did get the information from the internet.
If the law is to be applied fairly to all parties then he should abide by the countless extradition trials he's gone though here and face his accusers in a Swedish court and not break the bail conditions he agreed upon to avoid being held on remand.
