ADVERTISMENT

The website of Wikileaks.com is releasing confidential documents about the government. They have published a secret U.S. State Department list of key infrastructure sites in the foreigh countries. The list of "critical infrastructure" and " key resources" was put together as part of a State Department order to compile an inventory of foreign sites whoes loss could critically impact the public health or the security in the US. People are saying that Wikileaks has been generally irreponsible, bordering on criminals.

What do you think?

-Is WikiLeaks a great sign of freedom of speech?
or
-Is it illegal publication of sensitive information?

Personally i think that this whole idea of WikiLeaks is retarded. If the stuff that these people are putting on the internet is so important then why isnt the government putting it on there themselves. If they really wanted the people to know what was going on all the time they would put it out there. This is an invasion of privacy and personally i think that all these people who are doing this should be locked up some where fer invading peoples privacy. Screw freedom of speech if its making people upset or even frightening them. This idea of
"Leaking" the secrets is stupid. They are secrets for a reason and they have no right to tell somthing that isnt theirs to tell.
