In any event, the State Department will make sure this never happens again. Perhaps, but only at the cost of limiting access to critical information required by the entire diplomatic corp, as well as various intelligence agencies. The more we compartmentalize information and restrict access to it, the less useful it becomes. These reports are pieces of a puzzle.. If we put the pieces in their own little box, we'll generally have trouble putting them all together to obtain a clear picture.. Personally, I agree with the perception that Assange has a "god complex". I think he sees himself as a "puppet master" pulling (or at least revealing) the strings of the world's governments. However, like any good investigative reporter uncovering corruption and "back room deals" at the local level, this is being done on a global scale. And despite the damage that has been done (although the jury is still out on that), it provides an interesting view into the corruption and back-room dealing that occurs between governments. These participants want this information kept confidential for a reason, primarily to cover up their indefensible positions, or two-faced behavior. I think it's good to see a bit of embarrassment opened up to the general public. Hawk
