What the hell WikiLeaks is doing?

WikiLeaks has recently garnered a lion share of public attention, all for wrong reasons, by disclosing selectively US diplomatic cables in public domain. This is, though evoked much public emotions, certainly not a responsive journalism that otherwise what Julian Assange believes in and has started pursuading the netizens. Getting access to confidential or secret government documents through a network of moles in various embassies doesn't necessarily a legitimate method of facts gathering or unfolding the larger truth that is bone deep, which often lies beneath the drafts of diplomatic cables. Many government documents published worldwide don't even achieve 50% of veracity in truth litmus. Now is the time for world citizens to understand what exactly Assange along with his WikiLeaks teams (read dubious informers) are doing. Before delving into the complexities of journalistic investigations, let's understand what these diplomatic cables actually are. Like the functioning of any other government establishments, the embassies also report on daily basis to their bosses based out in their native countries. Their primary mission is to keep a tab on the contemporary political developments and possible impact on the larger strategic interest of their nation, by engaging themselves with various senior government officials and political representatives of the country. What these embassy officials do can be compared with some highly placed PR guys, but there is a fundamental difference in their public status, the formers are kept wives and the latter ones are whores who can be with anybody and everybody to provide their service for a price.

So why these cables have made huge furore in world politics and media as well? And why the public including politicians and journalists, especially in India, have blindly fallen in love with the music composed by Assange? There is a serious a flaw in the modus operandi of Assange as far as journalistic rules are concerned. What Assange is doing is much like a postman opening a sealed romantic letter sent to a lover by his beloved and making multiple copies and distributing it to public who in all probability are much interested in peeping into the secret life of people and taking voyeuristic pleasure. That's what fundamentally WikiLeaks is doing and connoting it a serious act of journalism. Absolutely ridiculous. And the saddest part here is that people have started believing in those pieces of information, which are not completely free from errors. As I have said earlier, the information exchange between embassies and their countries' government establishments are a formal way of informing the political and diplomatic pulse, which also involves a great deal of futuristic and inspirational content that would excite the bosses who in all probability think they are the beneficiaries, otherwise the information delivered carries a load of factual incredibility to make this exciting. The WikiLeaks maybe trying to find a place for all its meaningless mission, of course, through dubious means, but that's not going to help resolve the larger issues this world is facing today. People still who believe in the authenticity of information leaked through diplomatic cables, they have a second chance to correct their understanding about the functioning of nations. There is much beyond these cables that governs the working of government establishments. This may be too miniscule a potential segment to impact the relations established among nations. I am sure the politicians, journalists, and public at large who still are wasting their energy on debating these dubious information leaked by WikiLeaks should correct their fundamentals on how secret information is exchanged between two entities.
