The only danger Assange & Co. are causing to US foreign policy is embarrassment, and, last I heard, the causing of embarrassment is not a crime in democratic nations.

How about the information that was released about President Seleh's (of Yemen) under-the-table deal of allowing the US to perform missile strikes on AQ targets in Yemen while still allowing his people to think that he hadn't taken sides in this matter? You think that's not going to damage US policy with Yemen when (not if) he gets his neck cinched? You think Middle Eastern countries that we're trying to establish stronger relationships with see this as merely a small incident of negligence? There is a great deal of danger about this whole affair to both US foreign policy and other nations' leaders.

Do you really think anyone bought that story to begin with? It was common knowledge that US Special Ops was operating in Yemen. You wouldn't even have a clue where these creeps are, let alone the ability to blow them up out in the middle of nowhere if you don't have some feet on the ground to track them.

So far, all the leaks I have seen pretty much confirmed what I already knew, surmised or hoped was happening -- such as keeping tabs on the various UN scumbags infecting NYC.

This Wikileaks guy might think this stuff is hot, but honestly, so far for me it's been a big yawn. There hasn't been a leak to date that has even raised my eyebrows. We'll see what else he has I guess. ;~))
