"And to respond to your statement, you seem to be missing the bigger picture: How many soldiers have been put in harms way and died BECAUSE the truth was hidden from the public? How many more soldiers will die because of that?
There is absolutely no justification for the armed forces to engage in unethical behavior."
If the guys from wikileaks actually cared about human life, they would go through all of the data and change the names (no matter how difficult or long a process).
Since they aren't, I just feel that they are using this as political ammo against the US military.
People here seem to get all pissed off when you point this out, but it's the truth. People may die as a result of this info and the guys from wikileaks don't care.
I am all for being more transparent, but not at the expense of anyone's life.
