Whom to believe, Indian Government or Wikileaks?

Have you noticed we tend to believe the bad guy and doubt the good one. That probably is the nature of the disease called doubt. Wikileaks has brought to public domain a lot of confidential documents which were meant to remain confidential in perpetuity. Even after 50 years when lot of de-classification will happen we may not see these cables, because they are reports which help make a policy decision. I tend to believe these are stating facts as obtained. Does it mean we should not take the words of our Prime Minister as the truth? In that case Indian political system becomes a failed system. Repercussion of such an inference could be catastrophic and I may lose this freedom of being able to put my opinions on my blog.

Indian politicians have shown history of corruption in the parliament. JMM bribery case, questions for cash, horse trading etc. have decorated our parliamentary history. Therefore, it may not be right to say Wikileaks is bad. I believe a parliamentary committee to investigate this is the right approach. We can safely assume whosoever will oppose such a move is indeed corrupt.
