Wikileaks

A mixed reaction here.There's little in the way of a smoking gun in the latest releases. So it doesn't serve much purpose, other than to embarrass the people involved. Most of what has been released shows that the diplomats were doing what we had always assumed that they were doing.The reaction against wikileaks also seems excessive. A good principle is that if you don't want stuff to leak, then don't write it down in the first place. If you must write it down, then share it with only very few people. It seems that the US Government was massively careless.

It is certainly true that most US newspapers report little on international affairs. And it is true that the American public is massively ignorant about what happens outside the US borders.There has been reporting on wikileaks, though probably rather uneven reporting. On another discussion forum, I see a topic 59% thinks WikiLeaks designated a terrorist organization.
