That depends on whether we trust our own government, politicians, bureaucrats, spooks.
Does anybody here trust them? After the revelations of the last elections showing what an incredible corrupt swamp washington is, don’t we need more not less whistle blowers?
Releasing secrets that truly harm the country, should be punished. Releasing secrets that show the corruption and lies of politicians and bureaucrats should be rewarded, regardless of party.
I thought that this was settled by the SCOTUS in the Pentagon Papers case. As I remember, The Washington Post could print but the leaker was in trouble. Do I remember it right?
The Government classifies a lot of stuff that should never be classified to keep it away from us citizens because they know it would damage them and the many unconstitutional things they do.
There is a lot of real classified stuff that we have no need to know about and should probably never see the light of day but too much is stamped classified just to keep it from us.
I trust our government and all it’s spooks, except for the 99% who are working for the globalists and most of the 1% who don’t support those goals but keep their mouths shut.
