WikiLeaks has begun releasing a ton of “secret” documents hidden by the USA. Why is that a big deal?
Think it over a moment. The USA has made it clear that it has every right to invade the privacy of not only American citizens, but people throughout the world. From NSA monitoring of telephone conversations to TSA tickling your crotch at the airport this “government of the people, for the people and by the people” assumes the right to invade our privacy.
Fair’s fair.
Why should we not invade their privacy? The WikiLeaks founder has been careful to avoid leaking anything that would put someone in physical harm (unlike the conservative Bushie who “outed” Ms. Valerie Plame resulting in harm and death being visited on her network of intelligence agents. That’s an irony given the conservative howls about merely embarassing disclosures being made today.
See my next posting for secrets I am still waiting to see disclosed.
