He may just be part of a plan to get us to hate government that we have so we will accept a new world governemt. I like the disclosures and hope they continue enough that people get rid of the corrupt politicions yet keep our republic...

figuring that the only ones who really have their panties in a wad over him are the politicians I say he is just fine.

He is not 'targeting' the US, he has crap on pretty much every country

He also is forcing mainstream media to be a bit more honest, as now people can see what mainstream media change, cover up, and lie about, versus the 100% truth.

The people who are the source of this information are violating their security oaths and commuting treason, not much concern shown by our government in my opinion,,,,, not very confidence inspiring.
Our national security is less than secure it seems.

Isn't keeping secrets from the public (who are supposed to be the boss) treason in the first place?

Anything on the internet, including the deep internet, is out in the ether.

Tap into the ether, break the code and it is published.

Their oath to the constitution is what counts. It is first, last and everything.

The government keeps secrets from two main observers for two different reasons.

1. Foreign countries, many of whom are our enemies.

2. Our own citizens, many of whom are blinded by the lies of politicians.

The first category are secrets which I would prefer remain secret for the betterment of our nation. The second category are secrets I would prefer be published in the open, again, for the betterment of our nation.

There is considerable overlap in those two types of secrets. Wikileaks seems to not discriminate when disseminating information, although we don't know what additional information they may have which they have not chosen to publish.

I think its great he's shinning a light on some of these rats. They live like rats, travel like rats, and act like rats. I've never seen one but they still get in my shit. And the fact he now has a warrant out for sex crimes? They are really pissed at this guy. I think its because he threatened the banks. It was pretty much ignored until then.

[keiser]

He didn't steal the info. Sounds to me that the fed employee(s) who stole this data is the rat. Anytime the government starts feeding on itself it's an enjoyable day.

Terrorism can have many guises these disclosures are one.
