It's okay. As we've seen with earlier releases, it's better for a few innocent people to die than keep some of this information secret. "Some of them probably even deserve it"

I don't know why you are silencing me. I am telling the truth. The guys from wikileaks have freely admitted that they don't care about the innocent lives that may or may not be lost from this information (and even further through their actions). If you look at the past HN articles about this, many of the supporting comments were along the same lines.

  Again, If you are down voting me, at least give me a reason. I feel like the supports of this just want to brush the truth under the metaphorical carpet.

  I did not downvote you, but since you are still asking, I found your original post very confusing, and it added nothing to the conversation. > As we've seen with earlier releases, it's better for a few innocent people to die than keep some of this information secret. Why/how is it better? "Some of them probably even deserve it" It's an inflammatory statement, I'm not even sure what you are trying to say.

    "Why/how is it better?" I don't think you got my point. My point is that the people from Wikileaks (not me) believe that it's better to bring this information to light than prevent innocent lives from being lost. "Some of them probably even deserve it" It was a quote..as in I didn't say it or believe it. Look at some of the comments in this article. Many people believe that this info should be brought to light and to hell with the consequences.

      I don't believe you can show me a single comment anywhere that implies "it's OK because some of them probably even deserve it," because that sentiment makes no sense. It's extremely rude to put words like that in other people's mouths.

    Agreed it is inflammatory, though he/she did put it in quotes but tellingly has not given a citation. Whatever happened to freedom of expression? I know that there are posting guidelines on this site and that this forum is not a free-for-all and that glibness, hostility, curtness and so on are not condoned. But silencing these sort of comments, I'm not sure. Who was it who said: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"? Though whoever said it probably just did not have enough karma :)

  Without more context, I find your statement that "Some of them probably even deserve it" offensive. If I had enough karma I would down vote you for that. Which human beings are you saying deserve to die? What facts and which code of ethics did you use to conclude that some people that you've never met deserve to die? If I am misinterpreting your statement, please correct me.

By releasing info that could harm the people involved, you are letting people know that you don't give a damn about their lives.

The big question here is: what evidence do you have of that? So far, I haven't seen any. Please let me know if you do know of any people negatively affected by this.
