I seem to live life just fine living by it. If I can do it then surely others can also?
Because the leaks will include conversations with both sides where they will be saying things that they would prefer not to be made public.
Nowhere have I claimed that this would only negatively affect the US. The point is that because the cables are US cables, the US will be involved in all of the cables, while other countries will only be involved in a portion.
That specifically is a very ignorant and absurd statement as you have no knowledge at all as to what constitutes as the majority of what the state keeps in secret from the world population, and when you assume that "most of what they keep secret" is this and that you are admitting that you do not need to rely on what you know, on facts you are aware of, for your opinions to be held.
Abso****inglutely. Secret agreements between countries need to be kept in secret, else enemy entities and nations will be aware of the agreement and will act against it.
Letting your enemy know of your next move is endangering your side - again, unbelievable, right?
So you do not count as a supporter of the Wikileaks organization and its actions since it does leak information that mainly deals with the military and its actions.
Nevertheless as pointed above the notion that only military related intel are to be kept in secret is almost as absurd; see the example of secret agreements between nations for diplomatic related leaks.
Your most important right is the right to safety and life, and that should be the top priority of the state and the government.
Thus when letting you know something also means letting the state's enemies know something and thus means a risk of lives for you, the citizens of the state, the state must keep this 'something' in secret else it would be committing a crime against its own civilian population which it exists to protect.
Likewise, when a third party, and not the state itself, is the one to let the civilians and the entire world know of those things that are kept in secret, it is engaging in an equal crime against the citizens of said state and must be held to justice by the state.
You live life just fine living by the rule that the government should never lie to you? Well, I live life just fine living by the rule that everyone thinks I'm handsome and charming.
It's sad to think that it is acceptable to people that people lie to them.

Hey, 1 out of 2 isn't bad.
What a shocker that people who aren't Americans are giddy at the prospect of something that could embarrass America and undermine our security.
I wonder if an interesting discussion would be should the US government put an end to wikileaks out of national security?
Won't happen.
Has no one else downloaded Wikileak's insurance files? I know I have. I even put it on 3 separate memory sticks.
In the event of his death or disappearance, the password will be released and all the millions who downloaded this file will have access to US and other unknown data. Must have something really bad if no one has shot him in the head to stop the password being released
The Obama administration is feeding Wikileaks the information.

Nothing to do with just disliking America.
I'd be the same if it was British reports which will also be leaked by wikileaks as it was just on my news Whitehouse has given No. 10 a alert in regards to the leaks and British Government has classed it as a 'national security threat'
Apparently it shows corruption between our two countries and the "special relationship" will be put to the test ..... imagine that? Including the Libyan bomber and Kurdish terrorists which US has allegedly been funding against its own ally Turkey.
I want to know what my Government has been up too and also it says that corrupt politicans will be named and shamed. Who are not only American. Don't blame the leader of wikileaks, they didn't make up the information. It was Americans (and probably British individuals if the reports are accurate) who have shamed their nation. If these revelations is damaging to US and UK's reputation, we deserve it for our actions if it is proved to be true
I just hope Wikileaks turns on Europe as well. Can't wait to see what has been behind closed doors of the "EU project"

Seems doubtful.
And as I've said to Orion and Kalstang, I think that's very naive.
This is an example of a logical flaw, though I can't quite recall which one.
By this statement, do you even consider the possibility? Come on man, niether of you can be serious.
Niave to want to know when corruption takes place in my country? Yes, I'm sure it must be devastating knowing the truth.
I want to get access to the encrypted folder. I wish US all the best in taking it down if it means I get to see the folder :shrug:
Why do you guys seem to think that everything secret must be an example of "corruption"?
It's absolutely naive to think that it's a good idea for countries to have huge swaths of their private diplomatic correspondence published.
This of course assumes that there's anything of value in the folder.

I can't wait to see if it is true US and UK has been funding even more terrorists. Our countries just do NOT learn does it from history?
Turkey is going be pissed at us and I don't blame them if it is true we have been funding terrorists against them which have harmed their civilians. Bet we will shove them right into Iran's arms now
