I don't. I have a problem with a person (Assenge) or an organization (Wikileaks and the news organizations that have worked with it) that elects itself as the arbiter, without any check, of what classified documents should be made public.

But hey, at least Wikileaks is busy enough with all this that maybe it's not posting certain other esoteric/secret information anymore.

I agree. The hypocritical part is that Assenge is conveniently unable to be located.

If only occupying their time was so easy. They are probably excellent multitaskers.

Yeah, but they're posting so many government documents, I'm hoping they decide they don't have space for documents related to . . . say . . . non-political organizations for college students and alumni.

I agree and its neither neat, cool or cute in my eyes. Doesn't matter what other countries say behind closed doors, its what they do in public that matters. I mean like the whole China wouldn't mind if Korea was unified under the South.

Just give the crazy man trying to get a nuclear program together more reason to destabilize the region.

Let me clarify, I do not think it's OK that someone leaked/hacked this confidential information. I just meant I think some of the contents are amusing, and that in regards to some of the info, it seems counterproductive to me that it was ever kept secret instead of the associated parties discussing their feelings publicly.
