- OJFord 10y agoI haven't, I don't really agree with it: there's whistle-blowing, and then there's WikiLeaks, with its absurd scale. I certainly don't subscribe to "I pay my taxes; I've a right to know ...!" which is incorrect, silly, and less secure for all of us.
- roryisok 10y agoPlease don't be put off by this being on Wikileaks. This is not just some disgruntled British soldier dumping a few hundred secret documents. This is a single, very thorough report he wrote himself, describing in detail all the horrible lapses in security and safety he personally witnessed around Britain's nuclear deterrent. He has censored some of the most sensitive information for security reasons. This is not about "I have a right to know", this is about the risk of a nuclear accident or terrorist attack because of gross negligence, and the chain of command attempting to silence it.
