Don't lump us all in together. What with security theater at
airports, warrantless wire taps and the government's constant droning
of "if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear", it's
freakin' obvious that a big chunk of the US gov't doesn't trust a big
chunk of the US. The only people harmed by wikileaks are the
two-faced bastards in DC. If they hadn't done anything wrong, they
wouldn't have anything to hide...
Hasn't really done that much harm to "the two-faced bastards in DC",
other than creating a small amount of embarrassment over certain earthy
and entirely accurate assessments of foreign government personalities
made by our own ambassadors.
The innocents put in harms way are those local people in other countries
who cooperated with the US to improve their own situations in their own
countries - the village headmen in Afghanistan who mediated between
their own people and NATO troops; the mid-level Taliban members who were
open to finding a negotiated end to the current war, etc.
Like I said, just because Assange and Wikileaks are trying to stick it
to the U.S. Government doesn't make them good guys.
