It's a big week for the internet and the old powers.  I am fascinated by the Wikileaks story, not so much for the revelations themselves, but the reactions of some governments and columnists.  Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks have been likened to a terrorist by Sarah Palin, calls for his killing by William Kristol, former chief of staff to the US vice president, and further calls for death by conservative columnist Jeffrey T Kuhner in the Washington Times.  Some of these threats are listed in the Open Letter to the Australian Prime Minister regarding Julian Assange.
