i don't think you can separate the registers without draining away the political content of the release itself. but if you do that, then you aren't talking about the release any more. you're talking about a fiction.
look forward to your response tho. i understand your position, btw. i just don't agree with it.
in reactionary land, things are getting nutty:
WikiLeaks US embassy cables: live updates | News | guardian.co.uk
if you go to this guardian blog that is tracking various aspects of the fallout from the leak, there are some quite disturbing developments....there's a good demolition of amazon's weak, stupid decision to throw wikileaks out based on an imaginary terms of service violation...and there's also some strange stuff happening...like an email ciruculating at columbia which warns people who are considering applying for a job with state away from looking at the wikileaks material....and a threat to all government employees to not look at them.
it's insanity. it really is.
