The demand absolute privacy for people that leak things that are very possibly not even based in fact, but at the same time they demand that their sources and those that discuss things must be kept completely secret regardless of if they intentionally work to harm others through lies or though disclosing things that no one else has a legitimate right to know.
There are leaks about individuals on that site. There are leaks about our military's rules of engagement. There are national security issues that if true could put our people at risk on that site.
These aren't people supporting civil liberties. These are people who are attacking civil liberties and wanting to do so under a veil of secrecy.
Agreed, there is nothing “noble” about releasing information that might be classified. It’s a dangerous, and perhaps deadly game that people are being led into by this.
Certainly there are things we’d all love to see “released” eventually, for our own edification and perhaps even vindication... but to do so at the price of destruction of the US government certainly (and most of our allies) is nothing more than another Liberal movement in THIS country - not to mention many other countries.
You’re correct.
