That's either ballsy or desperate, or both. I'd be interested to check the donors though. I want to trust Assange, but I kinda trust Obama too. I agree that things could be better, but you can't always argue that secrecy is always against the interest of the public. Leader sometimes have to be able to have discretion when the want to take decisions, if not, some will just be able to anticipate those decisions, and it won't work. It's true that mandatory secrecy is bad, but it can be difficult to have it everywhere. I'm really not an expert though, so I could be wrong. It's true that the US is trying to make strategic moves for its own interests, and it can be scary and dubious waters for US citizens, but it's the game of international relations. I don't think you can always mix the debate on secrecy and healthy democracy. Maybe Obama has legitimate reasons to use secrecy. Although it's expected from wikileaks to make moves about it. Anyway Washington is really not going to like it. At all.
