I'm assuming you're joking. Because otherwise you're a moron.

That's not to say classified documents are not classified for a reason. But one is right to be skeptical of the government. However breaking the law and publicly releasing information that IS harmful to the interests of the nation to satisfy and prove your skepticism is not right either.

I think a lot of politicians lie about a lot of things. But that doesn't make it right if I were to hack into their computers to prove myself right.

I totally agree that the latest list of 'easy targets' is a horrible idea that provides no benefit to humanity. I don't think wikileaks has been doing a good job lately and they are probably releasing some of the information only to irritate/damage the US government. That said, I'm sure the US government would say that all of the leaked documents are "harmful" because they are secrets and/or embarrassing. Who gets to determine if information is harmful or not? I can only imagine how hard it would be to walk that line.

But publishing documents that are given to you is valid grounds for treason, er - espinoge? Wikileaks are provided these documents via a 3rd party as well - like the New York Times. Where is the fallout on them? Are they traitors? I think not.

This is a litmus test for our new world, a always connected world where news and information is spread in seconds. Myself, for one, would like to know why we are in Afganistan for 9+ years, and how "geo-politics" are affecting my country. Honestly, the decisions of the few, are affecting the many. These documents are a window on what is really going on in the world - and how the US views other governments. Why do we do we make the decisions we do? These documents will help show us. In my eyes, that is democracy. As a citizen, we need to know why we are involved in other nations issues. Granted, alot of the released documents are based on a diplomat's perception of the situation - it still is some insight that person may have that we are not aware of. This information, taken with a grain of salt, only helps the public complete the picture of what may really be going on in the world.

Wikileaks, or Assange did not hack into anything, they are just acting on what was provided to them. Espionage? I think not. Good gossip? Of course...

In refrence, lets flash back to WW2-Europe. The US based its involvement in that on the "Zimmerman Note" that was intercepted by the US. We were not involved until that came to light. If our government is doing anything that is the equal to that letter, we need to be held responsible. These leaked "cables" are a window into what the US is doing across the globe. If we are so moral and correct, the US would have no shame in these being released.

I love my country, but am saddened by its actions as of late. Many people have died in past wars to ensure the very things that are being denied by todays govt.

My bad, the "Zimmerman Note" was WW1. Let the flames commence.
