The First WikiLeaks Revolution?

Foreign Policy magazine is proposing that the unrest in Tunisia is, which is in part grounded in public outrage over massive political corruption by the ruling family, is the first WikiLeaks-based unrest.

As described in the released cable, the presidential in-laws seem to be the worst of the bunch.

For what it's worth, WL has, to date, released about 1% of the cable archive.

UPDATE: The president (and, presumably, his corrupt family) has fled the country.
