Fact is that secrets are hard to keep. Cork out of the bottle. post-it-all 1-to:world. Technology is a thread, it always was.. Technology was always was unstoppable/unpredictable. Technology brought war and progress. Maybe this is a good thing. CrCrises and the cable gate shows government is not so much in control of the global society. We need proper steering mechanism to survive the global society we created with technology. Whould we have gone to Iraq over Weapons of mass destruction is we were part of the diplomatic cable discussion ? Will reading the cables prevent us from another stupid global decision based upon wrong leader ego's/shortvision ? Probably our global society is in the long run better of with more transparency. Shutting down the discussion/web is not an option. Its like banning books.
