Would Amazon have let the NYTimes deliver the Pentagon Papers across its "cloud"?
Bill Densmore
Question: If The New York Times had had to rely on the Amazon cloud to
deliver reports about The Pentagon Papers, in the face of White House
pressure and a pending Supreme Court decision, do you think Amazon would
have done the same thing as it did to WikiLeaks?

We may not like its methods or its leader, but WikiLeaks is a publisher --
a new kind of publisher, but a publisher nonetheless -- and as such it
deserves to be protected from government interference, just like any other
member of the traditional or mainstream media.

what is "espionage"--what could truly compromise national security. IMO, there
is a legit concern over national security concerns, but when is the line
crossed? And did the WikiLeaks stuff perhaps truly cross that line?
