Anyone saying that these leaks will damage informants clearly hasn't even glanced at the site.

All informant names are censored. All company names are censored. Indeed, all names except country names and the names of high-ranking government officials are censored.

None of this is going to do any harm to civilians everywhere. None of this will help terrorists in any way. Go look at the leaks. All they do is expose the American government, and a number of others, as a group of spineless cowards who will ignore basic common sense and human decency to avoid annoying autocratic leaders of oppressive regimes.


Cause clearly Nicholas Sarkozy doesn't know who the ambassador is that called him an emperor with no clothes?

I highly doubt that it was the ambassador who said it. It was one of any number of people in the US foreign service who work in France.

You don't think these things can't be figured out who said what?   I mean, if I gave you a bunch of private emails of friends and family members with the names blacked out, you don't think you could pick out most them?  By process of elimination about what they knew and how they write figure out who was who? 

I don't think that Sarkozy knows every member of the American foreign service by name, let alone by writing style.

Besides, this cable is quite complimentary towards Monsieur Sarkozy.

Which doesn't change the point that most of them have no reason to be leaked.  Privacy should only be breached for just cause.
