Not to bug you about this but after several hours of information emerging about the Wiki dump, do you still think that the doc dump is either patriotic or libertarian and do you think that the following are right and proper?:
1)The cover being blown off the US operation cultivating the cooperation of the president of Yemen to provide information on Al Qaeda in Yemen’s activities regardless of the opposition of his own government?
2)The cover being blown off the US effort to get Pakistan to secretly turn over nuclear material to the US instead of selling it to some terror state or terror group?
Maybe you DO believe that those things fall under the banner of “the people’s right to know.” But, should any American or American ally lose his/her life because of Wikileaks, I’d like to know if you still feel the same way about them.
“do you still think that the doc dump is either patriotic or libertarian and do you think that the following are right and proper?”
Regardless of what comes of this I’m not in a position to determine whether this is treason or patriotism; history will determine that. I never advocated releasing the docs, and simply suggested a motive.
“But, should any American or American ally lose his/her life because of Wikileaks, I’d like to know if you still feel the same way about them.”
How do you feel about all of the Americans (never mind the Iraqis themselves) who lost their lives in a fabricated war against former allies of ours brandishing American weapons we gave them when we were friends with them? How do you feel about all of those Americans (and allies) who died in a war against Vietnamese Communists, with whom we have so much trade today? I don’t know what is being exposed in these documents, but it might prevent farces like this in the future (or end current ones in progress).
