"It is not right to bring in sensational and, in fact, false claims, a relatively trivial matter compared to the deaths of 109,000 people ... CNN should be ashamed of doing that. And you, Larry, you actually should be ashamed as well." Wikileaks founder Julian Assange

I completely support the exposure of lies, corruption and other illegal behavior. But the latest Wikileaks coup is unethical to say the least: �The controversial whistleblower site published the cable late on Sunday, listing potential targets that experts told British daily The Times were a gift for terrorist organisations. The list of critical infrastructure and key resources located abroad detailed hundreds of pipelines, important data cables, and businesses belonging to international industrial and pharmaceutical giants. If destroyed, these sites could damage US interests, the diplomatic communique said. In Germany such sites included the BASF headquarters in Ludwigshafen, which was described as the world�s largest integrated chemical complex, and Hamburg�s port. Other crucial sites include the northwestern coastal city of Norden and the North Sea island of Sylt, where two important underwater data and communication cables connecting North America and Europe reach land. The list was the result of a February 2009 order from Washington for officials to compile a list of international assets critical for the United States. The plants of industrial giant Siemens were also listed for essentially irreplaceable production of key chemicals and the production of hydroelectric dam turbines and generators. Other companies included Dr�ger Safety in the northern German city of L�beck, critical to gas detection capability, and Junghans Fienwerktechnik in the southern city of Schramberg, critical to the production of mortars. A number of German pharmaceutical companies that produce critical vaccines, medications and medical tests, including insulin and a small pox vaccine, were also included on the list.� http://www.thelocal.de/national/20101206-31623.html - http://www.thelocal.de/national/20101206-31623.html There are people in Germany who live or work near these sites. And many of them are now very worried or even terrified. This is psychological warfare. Wikileaks has become an ally of Al-Qaeda. Besides killing people, their goals include spreading fear. ------------- A religion that's intolerant of other religions can't be the world's best religion --Abdel Samad Great minds discuss ideas.

This is psychological warfare. Wikileaks has become an ally of Al-Qaeda. Besides killing people, their goals include spreading fear. Ha, and who is hell=bent on enhancing that "fear?" Who truly benefits from this monetarily? who will continue to exploit this fear? Who is getting rich off of everything that has done in the last 10 years? ------------- When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. Rumi |

Matt, I posed another question in another category I believe politics:
"Suppose there was a secret about the end of the world iun 2012, would you want to hear such news from Wikileaks?"
I believe lies should be exposed but from who is the question? truth has become relative, not a goal of these people behind these websites.

Being a Christian can you look up in your Bible and find some justification beside? You seem more worried about the trinkets of western materialism than the flesh and blood of women and children scattered to the wind by drone shots! How much mileage you intend to get out this Alqaeda spreading fear nonsense? The German Chancellor & her Defense Minister can can take tour with her wife of Afghan site of occupation seeing no such fear! what gives? Finally as your signatures imply "transparency" so let's practice that instead of fear mongering from the ignorant! You and I know the biggest bankster heist took place that was covered up by the lying politicians while the aggression of choice was in progress! Do you still trust the media? I am not sure what the heck is going on http://willyloman.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/if-we-lose-our-internet-freedoms-because-of-wikileaks-you-should-at-least-know-why/ - If We Lose our Internet Freedoms Because of Wikileaks, You Should At Least Know Why------------- Kismet Domino: Faith/Courage/Liberty/Abundance/Selfishness/Immorality/Apathy/Bondage or extinction. |

I agree. The ultra-conservative American politicians benefit as well. But the ordinary people don't.

Any publication of terrorist target lists in any country is unethical.

Supposed that it isn't? My point is, is that there is no benefit in posting classified information
