So this wiki guy gets someone with clearance to download gigs of classified data and he puts in on the net for all to see. Sure sounds like he might be looking at 20 to life cleaning Bubbah's undies. Not sure I'm amused, I mean what exactly is the point to all this? Is this something to cheer?
So they get at our 'truth' and everyone else gets to keep their nasty little secrets. Self hatred is a terrible thing. How come the big man isn't publishing the sacred works of Iran, the Soviets, or anyone else?

From Der Spiegel: "Never before in history has a superpower lost control of such vast amounts of such sensitive information â data that can help paint a picture of the foundation upon which US foreign policy is built. Never before has the trust Americaâs partners have in the country been as badly shaken. Now, their own personal views and policy recommendations have been made public â as have Americaâs true views of themâ¦"
I suspect damn little of what's in there will come as a surprise to anyone. But no one likes their 'private' opinions blasted on to the front page of the NY Times. Few would survive such a close inspection.

His quest for the "truth" isn't bringing anyone together. Should there be a nice big war you can thank guys like this. More death and destruction brought to you by the radical left, who will of course sit back and watch the show while blaming everyone else.
