I was for this last week, but now I'm against it, the information leaked gives no benefit to anyone in the world and having it exposed publicly is undoing the "good" America was trying to do...

No, but selective information could have been released, like all the "bad" things. Wikileaks could have made a statement that, ok "this is what the world should know"... leave the other information to be.

So you used to believe they told the truth up until now!?

The only thing you touched on were the cases of spying, though..

Am I the only one who seems to think this leak is a bit manufactured?

Wikileaks should be a shining example of truth in news and exposing the corruption governments around the world are involved in.

if they weren't trying to be a money machine they would just release them all and let people mull over them.
WASHINGTON — Whistleblower website WikiLeaks has unleashed a flood of US cables detailing shocking diplomatic episodes, from a nuclear standoff with Pakistan to Arab leaders urging a strike on Iran.
The leaked memos describe a Chinese government bid to hack into Google; plans to reunite the Korean peninsula after the North's eventual collapse; Saudi Arabia's king's call to the US to bomb Iran to halt its nuclear drive.
The documents also showed that Israel discussed its planned war on Gaza with the Palestinian leadership and Egypt ahead of time, offering to hand them control of the strip if it defeated Hamas.
The confidential cables, most of which date from 2007 to February this year, also reveal how the State Department has ordered diplomats to spy on foreign officials and even to obtain their credit card and frequent flier numbers.

Okay, some interesting stuff so far, but none that "shocks" me or even surprises. Here are some questions that need answers.
Once we get all this "top secret" information, What then?? What is the point of knowing all of this? How many here are actually surprised that the US government is caught up in corruption?
Suppose we find out something that tears the US government apart? What are we planning to do about it? Storm the Capital? Throw people out of office? Bug out? As for the American people. what is our plan? Anarchy? riots? What are we hoping to gain by knowing all the wikileaks stuff,
Don't get me wrong, I think we deserve to know the truth. But once we know, what do we DO with it?
I apologize for being redundant I just think sometimes knowing everything creates more anxiety and strife than is necessary.
Now show us something about UFO's and you have a game changer!
Just my opinion.
