Dear Editor,
After reading and studying the Wikileaks controversy concerning top secret information about governments around the world. Some say that the release of such information could cause great damage to many governments and people around the world. It can even have an effect of starting a war. Julian Assange has shocked many people around the world by releasing the truth to the people of the world. In my case I think i would be neutral with this whole situation involving the WikiLeaks. Neither do I find Julian Assange guilty of anything. Like any other person he believes the truth should be revealed. I am in neither side if its right or wrong to say the truth.
I have done some research and I agree and disagree with somethings about WikiLeaks. If governments have documents hidden from their people then it should be respected. And Julian Assange has prove this, he believes that everyone should know the truth and should not be lied to. For the people who help find this leaks, those who work for WikiLeaks, have a benefit they get the money but they get many people and governments angry. It might also be that the people who help leak this documents are really upset with the government and they want to show that they are powerful. And Julian Assange honestly has more power to him!
Controversial??? Yes it is. More than 300,000 documents were released by Assange, some that show the innocent death of young people, which in the news might say "it was only done for protection". It is a very known topic around the world at this time. Many people don't get to know about this type of crisis. I thank Assange because his determination in wanting the truth to be revealed to everyone is what is making everything clear and vivid for us. Now we have a chance to know what is happening in the world. I think Assange has a point when he leaks things like a video showing soldiers killing innocent people, because it questions if the United States is really doing its job right by keeping us safe. Aren't this American soldiers helping us? Well in that case I agree with WikiLeaks and I believe they are right to give information out.
On the other side, those who believe that WikiLeaks should not exist have there right too. They would rather see the government in a good position, where no country would be against us. It shocks everybody because the United States has the biggest power and it affects the country a lot. The Unite States really does not want there image deteriorated. We do make mistakes, and we don't want nothing to harm our country and government. There is no way to stop Julian Assange, he has his rights, and as long as the rights are granted , WikiLeaks will continue. If Assange or WikiLeaks are harmed, WikiLeaks will automatically release a "Insurance File" which will disperse to everyone. And it will affect the United States. A question still hunts me, what made Julian Assange invent this?
WikiLeaks by far has stormed out of the dark and it became such a big controversy that people are showing support with donations and rallies. Many people around the world are supporting this man Julian Assange. Some people agree and some disagree. Many others have different view points. My view of this is very neutral, I'm in the middle of this WikiLeaks controversy. People have different opinions and well you just read mine. I am sure you have your own opinions about the situation itself and I would love to hear someday about them. Thank you for your time and may yo have a wonderful day.
Sincerely,
Maria Rodriguez
