Whistleblowers unite - you have nothing to lose but...well, just
nothing to lose. Something we sneaks have been praying for. A chance to
rat on people without getting shot, beaten up, jailed, sacked or
demonised by the might of official spin-doctorery.
In future, thanks to new technology, leaking sensitive documents
will be virtually catch-proof. The term, 'sensitive documents' is the
description officialdom prefers because the term, 'damning evidence'
sounds too judgmental.
According to the New Statesman magazine, an online service called
Wikileaks will allow you to send emails without having them traced back
to you.
It is akin to having your ship sail under a flag of convenience
to avoid having to pay any heed to health and safety regulations.
Wikileaks is an email address of convenience which should help
whistleblowers living under tyrannical regimes like those in China,
North Korea, Zimbabwe or the EU in Brussels.
The system is open to misuse, of course, but so are a politician's expense forms.
