All the while there's a huge glaring 800-pound-gorilla elephant-in-the-room size contradiction. The pols say that businesses can't support WikiLeaks, but the Guardian and the NY Times and the newspapers in Pakistan, Indonesia, Israel -- all over the world -- they're businesses too. So if they're really serious about this, we're in First Amendment territory. They ought to be careful, because the politicians depend on these businesses to sell their product. Without them, they have no way to lie to us.
See the problem isn't that WikiLeaks is lying, the problem is that they're telling the truth. This is not business as usual.

This is the translation of the ACTUAL radio conversation of a U.S. naval ship with
the Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland. The Chief of Naval
Operations on October 10th 1995 released the radio conversation.
Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a
collision.
Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North.
Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the
South to avoid a collision.
Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR
course.
Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP
IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND
NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS ACCOMPANY US. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15
DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTERMEASURES
WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call.
