I know WW3 will happen eventually. Tensions rise gradually all the time. Revealing private government information to the world though, seems to me like it's accelerating that process.
And I don't think anyone wants another world war.

Nothing that we learned through the leaks are things that people with the power to create world war don't already know. Might as well we learn the truth so we're not caught off guard when the SHTF. The only reason the media is having such a tizzy is because they are trying to protect their own interests.
Interesting... Is the Crackdown on Wikileaks and Threats of Julian Assange's Arrest Exactly What He Was Planning? | Media and Culture | AlterNet I must say, if this is true, then this is even better than the leaks themselves. Pure genius.

 This is exactly why I'm following this so closely. Most of what's actually been leaked has been of relatively little consequence - it was things that the majority of the world suspected, just now they are in official documents. On the other hand, the reaction was really not something I was expecting.

I do not like this. So far, documents revealed have simply been embarrassing, but future revelations could start costing the US money and possibly lives if sensitive data gets out. (Funny, seems all their major "leaks" have to do with the US, don't tell me other governments don't have secrets...)

Despite what many think wikileaks has hardly scratched the surface as far as classified information goes.
There are some things that dont need to be covered up. But when it deals with national security people should just move on and not cry because they dont get to know every single thing thats going on. If your that worried about it. Join the CIA and get security clearance.

Problem, Government?
Government is government, and that will never change. The people put honourable people in power and those in power either get corrupted or are replaced by corrupted people. Then there comes the need for secrecy so that they can hide that the government is no longer working for the people's interests, but the government's. IMHO, in a perfect world, the government's sites should be the ones under DDoS, not WikiLeaks. Anyone else here ever had the urge to buy rack space just to DDoS someone?

I agree that some things should remain secret, where absolutely necessary, but things like this stop governments getting complacent and doing/saying things behind people's backs, so to speak. Plus, as mentioned before, this is a HUGE reveal of just how authoritarian so many governments are, which should hopefully wake more people up

I'll ready my bomb shelter. Oh, and while other governments might have this information already, well... if you give it to the people, you'll get a taste of popular opinion. And there's one too many patriots in this day and age. Last edited by Advent; 12-04-2010 at 09:38 PM.
