There seems to be overwhelming sentiment
against Wikileaks' release
I was wondering how people here (some of
whom may have read Brin's Transparent
Society) felt about it.

I haven't seen any discussion of this on
Brin's Facebook page, but the FB tally I saw
indicated a majority in favor of the leaks.
I agree that the safety of our troops is
paramount, but have not read anything that
indicates Americans have died. I've suspected
that the government often invokes secrecy to
cover up abuse, and WikiLeaks bears this out.
I found this update this from Assange's lawyers:
Jon Mann
Sweden's Public Prosecutor's Office leaked to the media that it was seeking to
arrest Assange for rape, then on the same day withdrew the arrest warrant
because in its own words there was no evidence, and then re-instituted the
charges.
The damage to Assange's reputation can not be undone. Three months, and three
prosecutors later, the Swedes seem unclear on the basis to
proceed. Apparently consensual sex that started out with a condom ended when
the condom broke? Having consensual sex in Sweden without a condom is
punishable by a term of imprisonment of a minimum of two years for
rape.
Rape is a crime of violence, duress or deception. There was no fear or
violence; deception enters in by deluding the victims into thinking you are
someone else, or by drugging them, or by reason of their young age.
The women here are near to and over 30 and have international experience, some
of it working in Swedish government embassies. There is no suggestion of drugs
nor identity concealment. Both women boasted of their celebrity connection to
Assange after the event in tweets by Anna Ardin and SMS texts by Sofia Wilen
boasting of their respective conquests.
In the case of Ardin, she has threw a party in Assange's honour and tweeted to
her followers that she was with the world's coolest smartest people,
it's amazing! Ardin has sought unsuccessfully to delete these tweets from the
public record. She has also published on the Internet a guide on how to get
revenge on cheating boyfriends.
The exact content of Wilen's mobile phone texts is not yet known but the
bragging and consent of both women to having sex with Assange has been
confirmed by Swedish prosecutors.
Neither Arden nor Wilen complained to the police but sought advice on how to
avoid punishment for making false complaints. Their SMS texts to each other
show they have collaborated and tainted each other's evidence. They
retained celebrity lawyer, Claes Borgstrom, and contacted the Swedish
newspaper, Expressen, in order to maximize the damage to Assange. They belong
to the same political group and attended a public lecture given by Assange and
organized by them. You can see YouTube video of the event even now.
Assange's lawyers did not receive any official documents until November 18,
2010 (and then in Swedish language contrary to European Law) and learned
about the status of investigations through prosecution media announcements.
