WikiLeaks puts the government through a full body scanner to reveal many dirty secrets. U.S. officials, not surprisingly, have responded with anger. They don’t want their “junk” exposed or touched. No one, from emperors to excursionists, likes to be naked in public. And the latest revelations are the most intrusive yet.
The Wikileaks dump will supposedly demonstrate U.S. support for the Kurdistan Worker’s Party, a separatist organization that has been fighting the Turkish state for the past thirty years.
What did the State Department want with the credit card numbers, as well as phone, fax and even frequent-flyer account numbers of UN officials?
While gossip about world leaders like Belursconi and Karzai was to be expected, the turns it takes are unexpected.
The WikiLeaks documents are more significant for the Arab world than it is for the United States.
Which is the larger threat to the Middle-East? Iran’s nuclear ambitions or more American military action.
Even though the last WikiLeaks document dump revealed the details of war crimes, the next one, which just leaks diplomats’ communiqués, may have a deeper impact.
No matter how kind we are to our families, friends, and communities, ignoring what we did to Iraq leaves our ethical spreadsheets hopelessly unbalanced.
Ever wonder why WikiLeaks has been the beneficiary of high-profile document dumps? Perhaps its leaker feared that the mainstream media would have left them to die on the vine.
