putting you in real danger???????????????????
would you say that danger is any greater than the possibility of you being searched without probable cause?
what about being detained without due process of law?????
what about having your phone tapped without a warrant?????????????
what about having your internet activity being monitored without probable cause or a warrant?????????
do any of these bother you???????
they are quite a bit more likely to happen to you than any real danger from these leaks.

perhaps you should look at this in a different manner, wether you agree with the leaks is not the issue, the issue to youseems to be the damage it's done to this country...................................................
maybe if you look at the leaks as an inditement of our leaders, and not our country????????????
NO! Do you understand english? The problem is the leaking of the documents. That is a security issue. FOR EVERYONE

riiiight...way to go champ...you definitely make sense..now...that has nothing to do with this discussion so ill pretend your ignorant self didn't just ask me that...
now..wikileaks is intended to display all kinds of 'dirty laundry' no matter where its from..riight?.(it just so happens the US is its biggest target thus far)...lets hope this opens the door for others that are outraged by what their country has done or is doing. dont you want to hold officials/leaders accountable of lying, stealing, killing, or just being plain old corrupt?? seriously its not much to ask for!!

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.

ok, so, lets say that the gov't agrees with your perception of these leaks, then it would seem logical that they would take the steps for our continued security....................
they will immediately move the TSA into our subways, bus stations, hospitals, schools, etc..................
they will also start 100% monitoring of all e-mails, web sites, they will take complete control of the internet, so, that in the future there will never be the possibility of leaks like these....................
now, if this does happen, would you then celebrate these leaks???????????????
using your logic, I would think so, you got what you wanted..................SECURITY!!
