I didn’t like a lot of that worth a damn. But two wrongs have never made a right and it makes no sense whatsoever to compound one problem with another.
All nations classify sensitive information. Blasting it on the front page of papers like the NYT is not an act of transparency-—it is irresponsible and dangerous. The Times and weirdos Manning and Assange have all the wrong associations with all the wrong people. I wouldn’t trust any of them as far as I could throw them and I don’t believe for a minute that they didn’t select out any documents in the pile that they would find counter-productive to their homo and anarchistic agendas.
You have good points (especially about what they decide to reveal); I don’t know what the answer is. For decades our government (under both parties) has conspired to sell the American people out for profit, destroying our middle class and a good part of our way of life. I don’t trust them, but I also question the motives of those who oppose them.
