I appreciate what you are getting at. (or And agree on some key points. (then again, you may not have been addressing my previous post at all...). No responsible person would publish things that put our citizens and military in harms way. And that should be the acid test on this. But things that embarrass our government employees (both elected and professional) or expose dishonest dealings...well, I see value in that. Hell, that's what our press was supposed to do all along. But now that the press is, for the most part, a tool of the government, we need some other watchdog group. And that watchdog group has to be us....whistleblowers. And the anarchy that is the internet is the perfect way to disseminate the information.
The problem is, wikileaks seems to be in the same court as our liberally biased media....Anti-American, Pro-Progressive.
To take the partisan spin off of it so as to avoid personal bias, shelve it in different terms. If the private conversations between President Obama and George Soros/Andy Stern/Bill Ayers were leaked, would you be upset? I wouldn't be upset and I think a great service to this nation will have occurred. |
