Yes for sure, It's possible that wikileaks and assange, etc etc may turn out to be a blessing in the ongoing struggle of "message control". At some point there has to be a throttle on the manufacture of information.
In a country of free speach, the fact that someone heard and reported what was said is the control for the quality of speach... the newer forms of communication need to see the light of day occasionally.
The very reason that an official will use Twitter for a form of communication does not bother me. The unfiltered, unspun, and unrehearsed is refreshing. And displays a clearer picture of character, good or bad.
