That's a bit naive.Originally posted by KentPhilip View PostUnlike a paedo the US is strong enough to defend itself. However it is right for wordwide public opinion to know what they are really like.
Lets face it, if they had done nothing wrong then they would have had nothing to fear from Julian Assange et al exposing their secrets...
What do you think about all those foreign locals working undercover against the taliban, al quaeda, etc, who have been exposed? Or those trying to counter international espionage...
There are many, many things that are justifiably kept secret.

Those documents show that the US has been acting unethically in their foreign policy. Why shouldn't they be named and shamed just as much as a local oik might be by being pictured on a "pubwatch" poster showing those banned from local pubs for misbehaviour.

He did the US a favour. Their secret stuff is so boring. If the stuff released proved the existence of aliens or the covering up of a murder then I would have been worried.Originally posted by minestrone View PostMaybe I am in a minority here but I have no problem with him going to jail for a long time for releasing those documents.
