Wikileaks was founded by "The
Sunshine Press" of America in 2006.The creators of Wikileaks have not been
formally identified.It has been represented in public since Jan,2007 by Julian
Paul Assange and others.Paul Assange is an Australian journalist,publisher and
internet activist.He describes himself as a member of Wikileaks advisory and
working as a spokes person and editor in chief of this website.Wikileaks has won
a number of awards including the "Economist Magazine" media award in
2008,"Amnesty International's UK award in June 2009.
On this website users can post their documents anonymously but documents are
released after assessement.Wikileaks recently released 250,000 Us diplomatic
cables covering US dealings and major issues of every country in the world.It
reveals the confidential documents of US Foreign Office and Defence Department
Pentagon.Wikileaks shattered American diplomacy and from Yemen to
Afghanistan,Wikileaks have caused a commotion across the globe.It contains
documents about Pakistan's nuclear program,order of US Secretary of State of
spying United Nation leadership,comments of different leaders,secrets of
different rulers and much more.This act of Wikileaks is justifiable near some
people and according to some people it is an irresponsible act.But this is a
brave effort against the world's super power and Assange made it possible at the
cost of his life. This is a truth that this revelation of cables has an impact
which could change the US foreign policy a little bit.And officials and leaders
of different countries will be reserved definitely when meeting with Us
officials in future.
America,Sweden and Interpol ordered to arrest Assange for his irresponsible
act.Now we have to see that what steps will be taken by the US to stop releasing
his confidential documents in future.
