well, I say that constant hopes for transparency and the strides we take towards those goals will keep the United States high on the list of nations with decents human rights.
WL is one of those strides, and I think it's invaluable.
It's 'interesting' that given the muck that WL has raked up about the U.S. that anyone could be upset about their ( the US ) having been a target..
- aalleavitch 9y agoThe question is not whether the US should be subject to oversight, the question is "does WikiLeaks intend to push a deliberate agenda with their disproportionate targeting of the US?" You would be naive to take for granted that WikiLeaks is acting exclusively out of principle.
