From x7o: Remarks

WikiLeaks isn't new in any linear sense of "new". It is properly new. It is sui generis, despite superficial similarities to other projects. New genera present new possibilities for new possibilities. Considerable capacity for change is generated from its existence.

I dare to hope. In a world of bleak probabilities, that is a radical act. I derive some hope from solidarity.

I believe history is unfolding before us, unfolding with the unique haste and complexity that is native to the Internet. If WL is the first pebble in an avalanche of change, it is proper that there were some of us here to document it.

If WL is to be silenced, its staff removed, and the truths it brought to us expunged from the record, it is all the more important that there were some of us here to document it.

Either way, the risk of regret is greater if I do not lend my efforts.
