WikiLeaks. They stole documents and they are publishing them without the consent of the owners. The fact that this owner is the government is irrelevant.
How would you feel if it were your personal emails that were published on a public web site like this?
- rue 16y agoJust on the off-chance that you are serious: it is of the utmost importance that the owner is a government, not a private person. The argument is that the government is keeping secrets from its people without the people being able to change that by normal means. You are also incorrect about Wikileaks stealing any documents. They are only publishing.

- billmcneale 16y agoBullshit, these documents don't belong to them, which is why most ISP's are refusing to host them. I also happen to find that not everything the government is doing should be public, even in democracies like the US. If you think that 100% transparency is a requirement, you really have no clue how the world of diplomacy is working. A certain amount of privacy is necessary, just like it's necessary to keep the salaries of employees secret to a certain extent in companies. Chaos would ensue otherwise. I'm all for airing dirty private dealings and scandals that the government is doing, but the way Wikileaks is doing it is wrong.
