Serious question, what crimes has Wikileaks exposed? I'm sure there are some, but off the top of my head the most serious crimes the US has committed in recent history have been exposed by Snowden or Congressional investigations.
- zanny 9y agoThey leaked the Baghdad airstrike video that got people mad for a few days before not doing anything about it. They also released tons of military files relating to the Iraq / Afghan war and Gitmo that confirmed a lot of popular theory about the goings on over there - torture, Geneva violations, etc.
- openasocket 9y agoSure, but torture in Guantanamo Bay was also the subject of a lot of coverage, including the results of an extremely detailed and exhaustingly documented Congressional inquiry, that I found to be of much greater value. I consider that inquiry to be much more valuable because, not only did it go into great detail when and why torture took place, but also demonstrated that torture resulted in no useful intelligence data.
