Agreed @ the need for Wikileaks. Governments should not be run by PR agencies.

So national security should be comprimised for the sake of knowing.

Absolutely. Anything done by the government or its contractors should be publicly available unless it infringes the privacy of specific individuals (e.g. police witnesses). If it must be kept secret, the timing on release should be on the order of months after the incident, with no redaction and no exceptions to release.

I disagree. There are some things that the public should just not know. especially when it comes to national security. I don't want to know everything,if it could hurt cause american lives. Wikileaks is not the goverment and it does'nt run the war. Why is the founder of wikileaks even holding a press conference,who the hell does he think he is. I'm sorry but I respectfully disagree with you.

Id say democracy isnt really good when you have a goverment hiding crap just for the sake of national security(which really is a term they can throw without having to explain anything whenever they want to), but, its not my goverment, I dont care.
