The domestic media has caught the WikiLeaks fever. Newspapers, websites, blogs and TV networks present and comment documents so "explosive" that some of them don"t even fizzle. Information that is really important is below a mountain of so-called "secret cables" which contain synopses of articles published in the media or rumors neatly packaged by characters eager to snitch to American officials. When the major revelation will actually occur, people will probably already be allergic to Wikileaks and no one will be willing to listen or read. This scheme has already been used before and it seems to work perfectly in favor of the few and to the detriment of the many.

In fact, the major problem with these documents is not their contents, but rather the names of those who contributed to their writing. Thus, we find out that various characters of the political world of the government or of the mass-media routinely showed up to spill their guts to the officials of an embassy which restricts itself to saying that it can"t make any statements on whether the documents are authentic or not. It is not known exactly what those who rushed to confess to the heirs of Uncle Sam were hoping to gain from it, but we will probably find out from another wave of documents. It"s obvious that some of our co-nationals have it in their blood to be snitches and that"s all the excuse they need to turn into rats.

Most of the gossips that have made the tour of various media over these past few years are featured in the notorious Wikileaks documents. The interests of some moguls, the politicians" love affairs, alcohol-issues long debated with whispered voices, economic scandals dissected in various investigations of the media, the generalized corruption, brief characterizations of the various domestic leaders, these just about sum up the ingredients of the "WikiLeaks Romania" soup. @N_P
