Well, if you don’t mind a couple of movie metaphors, the public release of potentially explosive revelations has been a means of “street justice” since 3 Days of the Condor and as recently as Michael Clayton. While there isn’t any formal mechanism for inquiry, the Web seems to provide its own chaotic but arguably effective impetus for revelation, investigation, and change.
