What makes a leak "necessary"?
For better or worse, this group believes that practically anything secret should be leaked.
- EdHominem 10y agoA leak is necessary when it demonstrates the government or the leaders are lying. There's zero democracy when the citizens aren't told what's going on.
- zardeh 10y agoBut this is not the only information that wikileaks is leaking, so they seem to ascribe to another definition.
- EdHominem 10y agoNot really, no. Everything Wikileaks has leaked has been something that shouldn't have been secret. In some cases we wish it would have stayed secret, but that's our fault (collectively) for breaking our own laws. For instance, had we properly investigated the behavior of our troops in Iraq there wouldn't have been a need to blow the whistle on the situation.
