But the points John Young makes (and I agree with) are:
1. Any model that relies on big bucks - and especially when accounting for those big bucks is not rigorously transparent - is vulnerable to co-option or other manipulation by 'The System'.
2. Any young man who seeks recognition and commensurate financial rewards from 'The System' - even if it is by exposing its darker side - is vulnerable to co-option, or other manipulation, by 'The System'. Although I concede that we all seek recognition from pour peers in one form or another - it's just that youngsters are particularly prone to the temptations that can result. IMHO anyway.
I would add that, in the case of WikiLeaks, number 2 is particularly apposite in view of his clearly naive and/or ingratiating statement about 9-11.
BTW - didn't thank you for the offer of help with WikiSpooks - it would be most welcome.
