Pressure Rachets up on WikiLeaks Founder

The founder of a "whistle-blower" website, WikiLeaks, is now being hunted all around the globe. This sudden increase in interest comes almost directly after more than a quarter of a million classified documents were released onto the site. The articles expose the dealings in diplomacy between countries and the thoughts of the U.S government concerning the growing issue of North and South Korea's hostility. Diplomats and politicians around the world are outraged at the leak of these documents. The warrant that is out for Julian Aasange's arrest is officially charging him with two cases of rape.  His lawyer denies that Aasange is in hiding from the international police (Interpol) and insists that he has gone underground because of multiple calls to assassinate him.
While some up these documents were classified for a reason, I have to wonder: do any of the American people ever stop to think about who watches the world governments? I mean, the government is supposed to deal out justice, protect the people, and diplomatically resolve conflicts. But if the government is the one watching for problems, who watches the watcher? That's why I think that maybe not all of the leak is bad... certainly there are documents like the ones involving 9/11 that should be kept private, but to be able to call the governments out on deals made "under the table" is very empowering to the people. If the government would come down hard on civilians that attempt illegal actions, it is only fair that the government be privy to the same consequences. Rule of law; nobody is above it.
