could you expand on how you are safer, with proofs, not gov't talking points.
also, I think the whole point of the leaks is to demonstrate to the american people, just what our gov't can and is capable of.........................................it would seem that you could use a dose of that reality

lol why do so many people make julian asswhatever and wikileaks the same thing?
the guy's on the run partially because, according to wikipedia, he's an accused raper. I'd rather not get involved with his personal #ed up problems.
wikileaks is a website that displays some, if quite possibly biased and/or manipulated, previously classified information that we can learn alot from, one way or another. I guess it's up to us to figure out how to best use it without killing each other, would be more productive than crucifiing the one guy that helped make the information available

The people have every right to know, read about and understand exactly how much the US has been screwing the world around. I hope this leads to total diplomatic isolation and ridicule for the US, but I know it wont. Because of these revelations, I have cancelled my planned trip to the US, and rebooked for a nice long weekend in Switzerland. Knowing what I do, I would never prop your economy with my hard earned money, something I hope many will do.

Yes it does concern them...if those bad things negatively affect their countries. Ultimately, other countries are funded by their citizens. So if Saudi Arabia or the US for example play the Germans for stupid, German citizens deserve to know. You might not like it, but that's the ethical thing to do...

Here is a Rant....Because something has troubling me greatly about this whole Wikilekas issue. If this sensitive information was never meant to be released, then why was it so easily released? With websites and communities such as TVSHACK or Ninja Video Taken down and URL's being repossessed,countless domain names wiped out, The united States owning the information highway, and as many of you think the MSM as well, why was this information released? Why is Wikileaks still up and running, Why has it not been shut down? Is there something to be said about how easily we can over turn things with a few critical documents and get away with it, when normally any court (especially Military) would find us guilty of treason & terrorism! I am learning that if one day I run into a similar position I MUST at all costs internationalize myself while releasing sensitive information so therefor I could still profit from the sales of the documents and not be charged in a court of law.
WHAT IN THE HELL IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN?
Here is a thought...The whole Wikileaks company was set up from the get go, fully well knowing that one day ( a few days ago-planned years ago in advance) Wikileaks would be responsible for the release of sensitive information to the public, starting out with small leaks on videos, fully well knowing that over time the plan has to start small and escalate to the final much grander plan. The pinnacle of the companies mark on humanity would be to release Government documents (cables) that would eventually lead to an all out new world war? Which is what would be needed to finally instill the public belief of a NEW WORLD GOVERNMENT. Could WIkileaks and all those involved actually be the brain child of the TPTB, and just like all of the presidents of the united states, Assange is just their puppet?
Or does Assange have MORE DOCUMENTS (documents on BIG PHARMA, INSURANCE, BANKING, ALIENS) that the United States Government has now been given proof of? Proof (if you thought that this last batch was good, you havent seen a thing yet) that even more "highly classified-Majestic" documents are Assanges go to plan in case he is set up, killed off or sent to mars to live with all the kidnapped children..

Don't pretend to know anything about ethics if you cannot grasp the unethical and illegal distribution of classified documents.
