The “leak” soup

My favourite dish is soup. I can never have enough of soup, no matter what flavour (lentil, tomato, sweet and sour, chicken etc.) and that’s why my wife always cooks it for me. The one I like best is leek soup, as it has an earthy taste, it creates a sense of belonging to its roots.

However, this November, a new soup caught my eye: the “leak” soup, distributed by Wikileaks. I woke up one morning and strange news were capturing the media’s attention, upsetting people, creating havoc and inspiring mistrust.

My first question on hearing these facts was: What are the parameters of the media’s ethics? More importantly, are there any ethics? I believe that ethics have been left on the shelf, to become dusty, rusty and outdated.

My second question followed naturally: Can there be leaks in my roof without something or somebody creating them? Surely somebody made my roof leak and therefore “leak” soup is all over my bedroom (and in the public news). In my opinion, it takes two to tango and we cannot pretend the nail can make a hole without the hammer helping it along.

At a time when everyone is looking to put behind all the world’s problems, the “leak” soup should be put aside. We must all focus on helping the humanity to feast at the table of peace, safety and unity.
