WikiLeaks U.S. Embassy Cables: New Documents Released


there's nothing cowardly about it.



when government­s across the world seek to silence you and yours for presenting truth, it's prudent to be cautious in your dealings, and secretive as well. government­s have numerous ways of 'taking care' of someone, regardless of how 'free' their respective nations are.



keeping secrets from the people is, in my opinion, a crime, when it comes to a nation's leadership and what it does 'in the name of the people'.



only the most very sensitive and important informmati­on should be classified­. unfortunat­ely, the most routine things have been classified or overclassi­fied for no good reason.



back in the 70's in the Marines, my MOS was working with classified info, so i can say that much is true. it's gotten far, far worse since then.



and a very large part of classifica­tion is CYA, because they don't want the adverse publicity.



Wikileaks, whether its motives are good or bad, exposes the hypocrisy of government­s and their players, revealing that they put on their pants one leg at a time and use toilets like anyone else.



these people being exposed are being exposed for being human: they not always right, they're not always wrong. they're as confused and misinforme­d as you or i or anyone else, and they're struggling to make sense of what's going on.



some of them have never grown up.



if you prefer to believe fantasies, then Assange and Wikileaks are 'criminals­'. not to people who wish to see and confront the truth.
