Wiki-Leaks

The internet, as many people in the Information Age know, is a rapid and vast sea of information. 

There are millions upon billions (and potentially more) of web pages froth with information about a wide array of topics. 

One topic in particular, and one that's been in the news often, is the story with Wikileaks, and its publishing of confidential documentation of illicit activities and evidence of corruption of the United States' war on Afghanistan and Iraq. 

The man behind the site that published these documents, Julian Assange, has been on trial in Britain on various claims, such as rape and theft. 

Moving on to the meat of this post, the cartoonist seems to be likening the wiki leaks situation to an oil pipeline breaking, or something similar. 

In the cartoon, president Obama is struggling desperately to stop the leak flow of the Wikileaks pipeline, but if you notice, documents pertaining to very sensitive subjects have already escaped his grasp, to flow into the ocean of information. 

The cartoonist seems to be saying that you can't stop something like this from happening, and that the situation is already far beyond control. 

What I get from this cartoon is that even if you try desperately to hide illicit information, if it isn't well hid enough, it will find its way to the internet and thanks to the nature of the internet, and its fast transfer of information, it is only a matter of hours or days before the information you didn't want to be spread is.
