When I first heard the name WikiLeaks I thought it was some Hawaiian ritual or gathering like a luau. After recent events we all know what WikiLeaks is and the man who stands behind it. This news website was introduced in 2007 along with its' founder and director, a gentleman by the name of Julian Assange. The purpose or should I say mission of this organization is to provide the international public with leaked information derived from unnamed sources from around the world. Their news coverage is aimed at exposing the truth and expose social injustices. This of course is a noble cause but with it comes a higher responsibility of discretion and being able to discern what should and shouldn't be disclosed.

Julian Assange an Australian journalist has been awarded and honored for publishing and exposing atrocities committed around the world such as toxic waste dumping in Africa, killings in Kenya, giving light to the injustices that occur around the world. In 2008 he received the Economist Freedom of Expression Award and in 2009 Amnesty International UK Media Award to name a few.

Recently this whistle blowing news organization published secret U.S. diplomatic cables that not only politically hurt America's standing in the world but it also put our troops and covert friends overseas in a more dangerous position. They also exposed private talks between our government and other world leaders. One such revelation is the Saudi government asking the U.S. government to attack the infra structure of the Iranian nuclear program. To expose such information was irresponsible and doesn't make the world a safer better place. On the contrary it stirs up and adds to an already strained and complicated situation in the Middle East.

Exposing criminal or inhumane behavior that occurred or is presently happening around the world is a worthy cause but to use these newly published documents is irresponsible and serves no purpose but to gain recognition or perhaps notoriety for this news organization. There has to be an accountability for this type of reckless journalism and disregard for innocent peoples lives. This act can not go unpunished.

America is a great country and we will weather the damage caused by the insensitive actions of this mega egotistical organization. We as Americans support our country and its freedoms but we will not stand with those who abuse our freedoms.

What some people do not know is that the Korean War has actually been going on since the initial war broke out between North and South Korea in 1950. It has never ended, albeit poor and not-so-eager attempts to stop it. Rather, there was merely a ceasefire that was never resolved. But whatever truce there was between them was not apparent, even to most of the rest of the world.

There have been different versions as to the real cause for this conflict between the North and South Korea. Some say that it is just a cover-up for the real raging battle for political and economic power between the United States, which supported South Korea and the Soviet Union, which backed up North Korea. But the more accepted reason was the stern fight for democracy to prevail over communism, and vice versa, which was known to be the cold war between the once wartime allies. Indeed, aside from Russia under Joseph Stalin, North Korea also found huge support from its likewise communist neighbor China headed by Mao Zedong (Tse-tung).

In retrospect, Korea was separated into two different states when no common government could be decided upon. The Republic of Korea (ROK) pertaining to the South was established on August 15, 1948 with its nationalist leader Syngman Rhee; while the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for the North, as headed by Kim Il Sung, was organized in September 9 of the same year, just a couple of years after the end of the Second World War in 1945 and before the start of Korean War on June 25, 1950. This war ended in a peace agreement on July 27, 1953 with the help of the United Nations through its first concerted police action.

Apparently, the armistice was not permanent. Just recently, on November 23, 2010, the South Korea suffered a heavy bombardment of dozens of artillery shells by the North, killing two South Korean soldiers and destroying many properties. It appears that this started with suspected violations by the South of the North's waters off the west coast, resulting to the sinking of a South Korean warship that Seoul blamed on a torpedo allegedly fired by the North.

The world now watches as a bitter past resurfaces once again. What cause an even more real and imminent international apprehension, however, are the allegations that North Korea has nuclear weapons under its hood, which if really true, would be far from being unlikely that it will use against any provocation on anybody's part.

Imagine you're on a trip. You have planned it for quite some time and you're very excited. You love the place and have chosen to visit it because there is something about that country or area that you really love. You've saved your money, maybe sacrificed a little, so you could make the trip.

So off you go. Sure you know that there are always certain vulnerabilities when you leave your country of origin, but you have done your due diligence, checked with travel warnings, and feel like the decision to travel was made with common sense so you feel secure.

You've arrived! You check in to your hotel room. Everything is going great. But something happened. There has been a change in the atmosphere. People seem to be looking at you strange. What were smiles are now frowns. Where there seemed to be a welcome before, now there are only cold glares.

Some people begin to yell, looking at you, speaking in a language you have no idea what they are saying. Imagine you are in an African City where you come to a gas station and you are the only white man for miles. Your there and a man runs up to you waving and pointing to the front page of a news paper. "US call us a cesspool!" People who once welcomed you are now giving you the cold shoulder and if there was ever an uneasy and unsecure feeling, now you have it.

This is not some fantasy story. This is the experience of this writer and possibly thousands of other travelers who leave home and end up in a place where the latest reports from the controversial wiki leaks site finds its way to the lime light. This could be the future for international travelers everywhere.

What good and noble effect these stories play in world history remains to be seen. But this writer can tell you one thing about human nature. When someone talks bad about someone else, and then shares it with everyone they can, it's not a good thing. I have always been taught that people who really care about others do not do such things. Someone said it this way, "You who have not sinned, you throw the first stone!"

Irresponsible sharing of information without any concern of the harm it could cause innocent people is unhealthy for peace at least, and considered criminal by many. One little spark of gossip has been known to cause damages beyond comprehension.

There is an old proverb that says 'A tale bearer reveals secrets, but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter". Another says, "Where there is no tale bearer, there is no strife.

With the scale of tale bearing now with such media as wiki leaks, strife as never known before could soon be the result. Wars could even start, maybe thosuands could die, maybe millions! A tiny spark can cause a million acres to burn into nothing.

It is the writer's opinion that if someone has information that someone has committed a crime, it is only right and just that factual evidence should be given to 'law governing agencies' to see if the matter needs attention. If not, we can become an order less society where mob rules.

I wont, but I could almost wish that those who send information across the Internet with no concern for whom it may harm, could experience what I did on my last international trip. I was abroad to help orphans, but now I feel its not smart to travel, as you never know what hate story will come out tomorrow.

One thing I love about America is that a man or woman is presumed innocent until proven guilty. This has made us a place that people from all around the world want to come to, for our noble and honorable ways.

Do the people who crash websites and hack into companies sites that exercise their right to sell to whom they want really have a noble cause? (hello, freedom?) Do these people really have a heart to help society and bring peace, or do they want to just plain raise hell? History will tell the story from the fruit of these actions. If anything goes, one day, everything goes!
