These hackings, leakings of emails reflect an anarchistic act which should not have any room in a democratic society. Unfrotunately, groups like Wikileaks have been created. No matter how atractive their data are, the chaos that they bring, the unfair judgment without trial on guilty people, make their act suspect -- an act of sabotaging democratic processes.
Even if Wikileaks is based in Iceland, and its officers are of multinational character, still their acts are terrible. They produce fear through their internet terrorism. Regardless of whether the hacked individual is guilty or not, still there must be some form of legal process to be followed.
And when government officials are concerned, the date that are unearthed must be used by the hacker to press charges, not to display them as a sign of their great intellectual savvy to steal data.
I think that we should not forget our moral reponsibility to the youth, who would feel intimidated, scared and even turn away from politics if we follow the trend of thought of these hackers.
It is high time that decency and honesty be put up as primary principles in the use of the internet.
