here as it it is hounded across cyberspace. For content about Spain, see
El País (whose
editor said that there are many responsibilities and duties of being an editor, but that protecting the reputation of politicians is not one of them).
The same paper has printed an editorial about US embassy pressures on the Spanish government and judiciary (as revealed by Wikileaks) 'Government and prosecutors owe the public an explanation on US Embassy pressures' in

WikiLeaks has a four-year publishing history.
