The Swedish Pirate Party and myself do not support Wikileaks as such, but
leaking and leaking services in general (including OpenLeaks, cryptome and
the newly formed Serbian project for leaks). We would like to see an
inclusive statement that considers the benefit over whistleblowers in
general, and not a specific service for this purpose.

Wikileaks can certainly be exemplified, but it is important that they do not
get to represent the entire leaking community, and especially that they do
not overshadow the brave men and women who make sure the leaks get out there
in the first place.
