It&'s impossible to throw a rock at a media outlet today without hitting a story about Wikileaks. And to make the rock throwing even easier, the subject of this week&'s Why Is This News is: Wikileaks &8211' &8216'enemy of democracy, just plain fact of life&8230' or both&'

In it, Sarah argues that, for good or ill, the leaking of several hundred thousand diplomatic cables simply reflects today&'s reality that no information is ever truly secret in the Internet age. The US government, like major companies before them, simply need to adapt to that reality &8211' improving their behaviour, but also getting better at locking down the truly secret stuff. Paul, on the other hand, just hates everything about Wikileaks, describing it as one man&'s pathetic ego trip which reveals almost nothing useful and which, if anything, will massively set back the site&'s stated goal of &8216'transparency&'.

In many ways, we&'re both arguing the same point from different angles. But, hey, at least we&'re arguing &8211' which always makes for a fun episode. Video below.
