Drowning In Leaks

Sam Roggeveen contemplates Wikileaks:

One reason there is so much emphasis (in journalism and the intelligence world) on uncovering secrets is that, in a sense, it is an easy problem to address — if you throw more resources and better technology at it, you will usually be rewarded with some startling new piece of information. … But often the problem is not that we have too little information, it is that we fail to correctly interpret the vast amount of information we have. That's a far more difficult problem to solve.
