[rabbitproof]

Many interesting things going on here:

- First and foremost, the whole release of classified and secret documents, which has the support of Daniel Ellsberg, the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Bottom line: security vs. transparency.

- Social media reporting/movement as a journalistic endeavour. Twitter was massive with the Iraqi elections but now that it's related to domestic issues, how will it be viewed?

- Corporations vs. ragtag operations. Groups of hackers disabling or slowing down major corporation and government websites. So far, the impact appears minimal but it remains to be seen how far things will go.

- Justice system - how they are holding Assange without bail? Is the judicial system just another arm of the law? How much influence do foreign governments have on judicial systems in other countries?

Anything else?
