"Ambitious as a lie might try to be, its never half as sweet as a bitter truth"
The exposé of Government secrets to the general public by popular demand has increased curiosity about the credibility of wikileaks as an appropriate or trustworthy source of information. Over time, wikileaks has been able to prove without a doubt, the fraudulent dealings and sometimes sinister motives of interactions between high placed representatives of countries and even dealings within the Government of any country with adequate, juicy and in the nick of time information which suits just perfectly.
Its indeed a nice picture being painted by wikileaks, as its ability to share and disclose private conversations, Government cables via embassies, e-mails of highly placed officials and war documents to mention a few. As far as the public is concerned the whistle-blower information made available by wikileaks is usually taken with a pinch of salt, as where to draw the line between truth, absolute truth and collaboration of facts to suit a purpose. Its an issue of separating the wheat from the chaff, though claims by wikileaks insist the information has been refined for public consumption.
As wikileaks continue to release diplomatic cables containing information gathered through intelligence reports, documents and word of mouth concerning Nigeria and its Goverment Officials, it leaves little to the imagination of what already is known in some circles. Though denial trail most of the reports, its also a known fact that to trace the source of a fire, one can easily follow the smoke.
