Julian Assange is a house hold name now.As the owner of WikiLeaks he is creating turmoils in several countries through his startling disclosures.His main target are politicians,irrespective of nationality they belong to.They are running for cover.Politicians may have found him a thorn in their flesh.But people are with him and want him to uncover more of such clandestine work politicians indulge in.Many question WikiLeaks methods of extracting secret and sensitive documents by hacking into official websites.They may be right to an extent because certain sensitive documents could harm a nations security.But personally I feel Julian is doing a yeomen service.Without his disclosures many of the misdeeds would have gone unnoticed and swept under the carpet.For me the end justifies the means.Is Julian doing the right thing?

What big improvement has been made by this?
The ends justifies the means is exactly how Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and every other cruel deed is justified.
The moment someone says 'to me the ends justifies the means' that is automatic fail for an argument. If you have to become like a criminal, to find a criminal, you fail. Funny how we talk about bad police officers, and yet praise criminals for doing exactly what bad police are doing.
No, the ends never justifies the means.

Improvement will come but after some time. Its not wise to expect instant results. Already the offenders are very itchy and are trying to confront the matter.Sooner of later they will mend their ways fearing wikileaks
