WikiLeaks helps free souls, too.

I found this comment placed for Cat Steven’s Father and Son on YouTube today.
“In Egypt this week, Muslims formed a circle around a group of Christians to protect them as they went to mass, later on the Christians reciprocated to allow the Muslims to pray. That's the true meaning of Humanity, no matter what religon you are”

I also heard the other day on NPR a young Egyptian woman talking about her good experience of not being sexually harassed by men, which is usually unthinkable, during those days and days of mass protest and hoping it would last.

People with humanity are free people in the real sense. It seems that political freedom restores humanity: people of different religions peacefully coexisting just as in ancient times in many parts of the globe and men treating women just as other human beings that deserve as much respect as men do. WikiLeaks helps people gain more freedom. Therefore, WikiLeaks helps free souls.

Note: Although Julian Assange himself says it is not clear whether WiliLeaks’ revelation has any significant relation to Egypt’s mass demonstration and of course it is the people who liberated Egypt from a dictatorship, it is widely accepted that the revolution was influenced by the Tunisians having ousted their dictator, which was partly triggered by WikiLeaks’ “Cablegate” documents, some of which were reports on how deeply corrupt their leaders were.
