N2  - It has been said that the 2010 WikiLeaks disclosures mark 'the end of secrecy in the old fashioned, cold-war-era sense'. This is not true. Advocates of WikiLeaks have overstated the scale and significance of the leaks. They also overlook many ways in which the simple logic of radical transparency - leak, publish, and wait for the inevitable outrage - can be defeated in practice. WikiLeaks only cr3eated the ill;usion of a new era in transparency. In fact the 20`10 leaks revealed the obstacles to achievement of increased transparency, even in the digital age. - Reproduced
