Best online discussion about wikileaks yet.
I was gonna post this the other day. After the events in Egypt some of it is even more pertinent.
Its a forum discussing wikileaks moderated by Paul Jay of Real News Network – Wikileaks: Why it matters. Why it doesn’t. - the panel is:
Daniel Ellsberg, Former State and Defense Dept. Official prosecuted for releasing the Pentagon Papers.
Clay Shirky, Independent Internet Professional; Adjunct Professor, Interactive Telecommunications Program, New York University.
Neville Roy Singham, Founder and Chairman, ThoughtWorks.
Peter Thiel, President, Clarium Capital; Managing Partner, Founder’s Fund.
Jonathan Zittrain, Professor of Law and Professor of Computer Science, Harvard University; Co-founder, Berkman Center for Internet & Society.
Its nearly 2 hours, but well worth it.
I’ll embed it when I work out how to.
