Is the world different because of Wikileaks?

Yes its definitely different in places - but it's too early to say the whole world is different. But we are creating a space behind us for other media and publishing organisations to operate in a safer way and that, I think, will have long term consequences. We've seen legislative consequences as a result, we've seen changes in governance, ministers being fired and so on. Clear cut outcomes. Other outcomes are more diffuse - for example, how a population feels about the progress of a war. This is something that's not easy to measure. Does it result in concrete policy changes? We know it does, but it's hard to correlate.
