No, my objection was that it
might put soldiers (or others) in harm's way
and that I do not trust someone like Assange to make the decisions about whether that outcome is likely or not or possible or not.

It hasn't been documented to have done that yet, so wouldn't it be prudent to label the government's predictions for gore and death due to these leaks was more spin than reality?

No, I don't think that's prudent. I think that's more dismissive and biased than prudent.

To hell with the system. If the system is not serving our interests, it's not a system worth having.

If we determine that the system isn't serving our interests, then we change the system. We don't, I hope, rely on vigilantes with no accountability to anyone.
