Wikileaks and the photophobic spasm

I'm seeing a pattern in exposure, and it's this: Stone lifted, the entity underneath kicks and squeals while it works out what to do with all this damn light.  Onlookers take the kicking and squealing -- which is the reflexive response of suits, wonks and fans -- as evidence of wrongdoing; the organism/organisation responds to the light as an intolerable stimulus with which it just cannot work.  After a time, the entity gets used to the light and kicks and squeals less.  Its instinctive reaction was just that; its defenders mostly as irrelevant as an onlooker who says, "let that hung-over drunk sleep, the light is hurting his eyes."
