Post Processing - to do it or not?

The camera never lies. Of course that never was true but in this digital age the ability to manipulate photographs is easily open to us all.
For anyone that saves their images in the camera as .jpg rather than .raw, there is already an amount of photoprocessing going on (the image will be sharpened, the colour saturation and contrast will be adjusted etc etc) so what you saw is not necessarily what you get!
I certainly apply adjustments to the photographs I take, usually to boost the contrast, sharpen the image, crop out unwanted bits and get what I believe (possibly mistakenly ) to be a more pleasing result - what do others think? Is this somehow wronng on a site that aims to be essentially factual?
