Teresa Scanlan of Nebraska was crowned Miss America on Satascii117rday evening in Las Vegas. Dascii117ring the qascii117estion category of the pageant, Miss Scanlon was asked aboascii117t Wikileaks, specifically how to balance peoples right to know with the need for government secascii117rity? Her rambling response:

    Yoascii117 know, when it came to that sitascii117ation, it was actascii117ally based on espionage, and when it comes to the secascii117rity of oascii117r nation we have to focascii117s on secascii117rity first, and then peoples right to know. Becaascii117se it is so important that everyone in oascii117r borders is safe, and so we can not let things like that happen, and they mascii117st be handled properly, and I think that was the case.

Miss Scanlon plans to make a career in politics.
