I thank God for Wikileaks publication with so much more to come. Transparency is good.
Wow, what a painfully idiotic statement. Breathtaking, really.
I suppose you lament the fact that the cables between the US and the UK at the height of the Cold War didn't find their way into the hands of Brezhnev et. al?
What is even more in more in this particular instance is that we want cooperation from leaders who are located in parts of the world that generally unfriendly to the US To secure such cooperation, those leaders HAVE to believe those confidential discussions and agreements won't be leaked for the world to read. If not, we see relatively friendly leaders - like Saleh - give way for more militant Islamic leadership.
I'm sorry you're not smart enough to understand it.
Sometimes it is. But sometimes it gets good people killed and diminishes our ability to work with allies. That's why it can't be decided by Bradley Manning or the French dude (forgot his name).
