One of the significant things the Wikileaks shows is that the gov't. and military classify way, way too much stuff. I'm more troubled that they can't get the notion that greater transparency enhances their credibility and integrity, and the secrecy does just the opposite.

And SW makes the great point, if Wikileaks should be punished for releasing classified information, what about the leaders who lied our way into war, causing the loss of thousands of US lives, and that other little thing of billions of $$.
