Those people must have known the risks. Stuff leaks out, it just happens. This just happened to be a big leak. I don't think the risk has grown much at all for completely 'innocent' people, instead it's those who work in secrecy. The thing is, the authorities often feed us lies, and I want to know the truth even at the expense of some of my safety. |
I agree, but at the same time... wikileaks isn't JUST posting the truth, they're also posting a bunch of irrelevent stuff that has no value outside of cheap tabloid shock like "This hardworking diplomat who's done nothing wrong thinks David Cameron will be a bad PM."
It's like releasing an leaked paper about BP's corruption... along with every single member of BP's personal emails.
It's great BP's corruption was leaked, but knowing that Katie things Orlando Bloom is "Super Ultra hot"... what's the point?
It's not like they don't have the manpower, they claim to be holding stuff that is "too damaging" so they've either went through this all and know what is a big deal and what isn't... or are just lying to make the leaked cables sound worse then they are due to the "unknown" stuff.
