Is the way how documents had been obtained ethical or not? Well, too late for this is it not? The question should really be what the origin of those documents is - are they genuine or not.
It's like mounting provocation against officials so they accept a bribe. Is it ethical? Well - in some countries this is how unethically-acting people are being caught red handed. The only way they actually can be caught red handed.
- sharemywin 10y agoThe whole point is there's no way to prove they are true or not. or which parts are true or not. Now if you trust wikileaks as some kind of authority on truth...
- ramtatatam 10y agoThere is a way to prove if those sources are genuine but you don't have resources to do so. However to say "there is no way to prove they are true or not" is far from true. Such documents can be cross-referenced with other documents we know are genuine, simply this requires research you have no time nor resource to conduct. But there are others out there who have both time and resources. I have seen some documents about my home government (not USA) which were all (to the last one) true.
