It ain’t what you know, it’s who else knows it.

You know how we drum into our kids how important it is to tell the truth? I’ve always thought it’s an important developmental milestone when they work out that this is in fact a big fat lie, after which human behaviour will start making a great deal more sense to them.

In the same vein, you’d think there must be some bloody awkward cocktail parties every time Wikileaks spills the beans, but in reality I suspect it merely adds one more layer of intrigue (read “bullshit” for that if you’re still in truth mode) to proceedings.
