"What reform is attained by exposing someone's phone or address? That's right. None. If you can't understand that privacy and transparency aren't incompatible, then you must be seriously intellectually challenged. In other words, you have no point, and you have no argument."
When you are exposing potential informants and spies to known murderers, lots.
Either you're too naive or not cynical enough. Assange is on a power trip, but WL is necessary and has been useful so far, so I forgive him. He has a large ego and wants to deliver impact. Exposing informants is peanuts. Why would he do it intentionally? He has already caused one government to collapse (in Kenya). If you had such power, would you use it for the little things, or for the big things? Too bad for the informants, it would have been better if no names had ever been exposed.
"Seriously. You're complaining about Wikileaks doing it (debatable) when Cheney makes this seem like so 2006"
Seriously. When has two wrongs ever made a right? Also, the topic isn't Cheney, it's Wikileaks.
Do republicans that don't run the country anymore always have to be brought up when left leaning organizations or politicians are criticized for their actions?
