So, in a ‘free society’ it is OK to steal something from someone else (even if it is just information) or commit treason (Bradley or the hackers) IF someone out there claims a moral high ground that it is ‘truth’.

Our nuclear secrets are ‘truth’ per say, maybe they should stolen and published for the world to see?

You've taken the words out of my mouth. Paul, and his ilk, think the world be a better place without any secrets. The problem is all this would mean is that America would be a place with no secrets, while our enemies - and yes Ron, we have enemies - would hold onto theirs. It's idiotic.

Moreover, Paul ignores the fact that foreign leaders tell us things in confidence, and agree to things in confidence. Why? Because sometimes those leaders have but a tenuous hold on their own country, barely keeping at bay the crazy-ass muzzies who literally want to blow the world up. When that leader is exposed the way the Yemeni leader was exposed in this recent leak, it makes the world a more dangerous place, and it hurts our national security. Ron Paul doesn't believe in national security, apparently.
