It's not like they don't already know either. Really, communists have been doing espionage in this country for almost a century. Does anybody really think they wouldn't pass that knowledge on to our enemies? How hard is it to compile such information?
OTOH, the American public DOESN'T know how vulnerable it really is and therefore has NOT made preparations to survive. How is that in our interest? Whatever happened to civil defense? Isn't that how this country was intended to be organized by the Founders? Knowing that we have hundreds of Achilles heels out there is a wake-up call. In that respect the creep has done us a service.
If anybody is interested, there has been a recent discovery of the original Biblical system for civil defense, lost for over 3,000 years.
Which is exactly why before every NFL game, opposing coaches exchange playbooks and during the game, the quarterback yells to the defense what the upcoming play is going to be.
Wait, what.
Effectively, Julian Assange has let the world into our American coaches meeting. He's published pages of our playbook. He's told the opposition what plays we're weakest defending, which of our star players is injured, and what we're doing with our allies to mitigate those weaknesses.
Irrespective of the incumbent administration's political affiliation, how anybody thinks this is a good thing, is a mystery. From now until the foreseeable future, our friends and allies will be hesitant to speak to our foreign service officers with any candor, for fear that whatever they say will be published on the front page of the NY Times.
I echo John Bolton's sentiments on the subject - "This is bad, very very bad".
