Democracy hating elite centers of power? Huh? I'm not even sure who you are referring to here.
The majority of this stuff being released serves nothing excpet making private conversations inside governments impossible... which is needed for diplomacy.
I mean, imagine a sports league like the NBA trying to carry out trades with other teams if everything they said had to be public at all times. You'd never get any deals done. A certain level of secrecy before the deals are public is needed for negotiating... the only kind of closed diplomacy that is bad is deals that STAY secret. It's irresponsible to just post any and all secret information you gain, even if that information is not a crime. |
So what your saying is Wikileaks should do what the corporate media do and impose on itself self censorship? One of the problems with our Governments is there is far too much secrecy and the public are barely involved in the decision making processes of our elected representatives. The contempt for democracy with the latest leaks is very revealing. Wikileaks is a some ways a response to the piss poor job the mainstream business orientated media is doing.
