Wikileaks or "Wickedleaks".

Ghana is a very interesting country with its population being accorded the title of providing the so called proverbial hospitality.  This means that we try as much as possible to make all foreigners feel very much at home in our beautiful country. This has gotten to a point whereby this accolade has been taken to another level by our leaders and politicians. The wikileaks expose has realy turned Ghana into a nation where the animal farm mentality has come to stay. Most of the politicians will defend or deny all aspects of the leaked cables if it goes against them and make sure they show the veracity of the leaked cables that goes against their opponents. That is two legs bad, four legs good. The media, both electronic and print were awash with the leaked cables puported to have come from the US Embassy citing both former government officials, opposition figures and other prominent people blabbering on sensitive issues to these American and foreign diplomats. What a shame this wikileaks cables have brought to my dear country Ghana. Politicians should watch how they talk to foreign diplomats on sensitive issues. Some have come out denying what has come out, but what surprised me was how these conversations were recorde verbatim with no changes done to them, i then ask myself, where lies the denials? It will be a good thing to come out and accept responsibility for making a staement than to deny it. What i have realised in Ghana is that our politicians and leaders talk too much. I sometimes wonder if there is no public relations outfit in our country. The reason why i see my country to be interesting is that, when an issue crops up, it can be on our airwaves for the whole week or even a month with each party trying to defend or deny it. I just dont understand how our politicians and leaders are able to talk on sensitive issues to foreign diplomats without being mindful of the future reppecurssions of such loose talk. To add insult to injury, the American Embassy will always decline to comment on the wikilieaks cables on Ghana, it will be a dipolmatic blunder to comment on the wikileaks cables. As usual,  the Americans will always go by their motto "In God We Trust", so why should they trust a fellow human being.
