Today, netizens all around the world are discussing about Wikileaks, whether if it is a bad or a good thing? I believe that it depends on who you are and what you believe in.

Basically, I feel that the only advantage of Wikileaks is just that it allows netizens to know the truth about what is going on. Truth can be nice, but in reality I think certain things need to be kept secret. The writer of Wikileaks or even us, the public does not handle the truth well at all, because none of us have the context, experience, or evidence to understand the rationale behind what happens.

Since Wikileaks information is not officially confirmed, I do not understand why netizens would want to stir such a huge controversy. They should not even take it to heart as there is neither benefit nor reason for them to but the only thing citizen would do is to exaggerate the news through their own point of view.

I do not understand what Wikileaks would want to achieve? They might just want to change the views of politics in today’s world? Or even want to destroy the trust between government and citizens? Overall, it only tell me that WikiLeaks is invading the privacy of the government which could be an act of terrorism especially if it is major situation that could affect the peace and stability of a country such that causing disagreement and chaos among the citizens.

It should be obvious that government has their own reasons of not officially released the news to public. Government might need to analyze the truth before releasing them in order to ensure that it does not affect their citizen.

It is actually bliss to be ignorance sometimes of not knowing what is going to happen than to read about the untruth information from Wikileaks and become self-worried. So why not wait for the officially confirmed news from government than to make our own exaggerate and ridiculous conclusion?
