Where's the accountability

The WikiLeak mess continues.  When Obama talked about Transparency, I don't think Julian Assange and WikiLeaks was what he had in mind.

Before we go any farther, I'm pissed  very angry at what's happened..  Not because of what I've seen of the releases,. Most of them are more of an embarrassment than a threat.. Yes diplomats spy on each other.. not much of a surprise there, they've doing it for centuries.  Yes, American is covertly helping other countries protect themselves from people we consider mutual enemies.  American diplomats are encouraging the purchase of American made military equipment to other governments, I hope so.   Is anyone surprised diplomats gossip about each other?  Spies have been collecting information about peoples sex lives for thousands of years.

I haven't seen it, and I haven't looked for it..  I understand one document released yesterday may have contained a world wide list of locations, which if damaged could potentially do serious damage to the United States

Specific content will be damaging in certain cases.. You can be sure intelligence people from all over the world are piecing bits and pieces together to get a better idea of our capabilities, long term interests and what wine to serve at a diplomatic dinner.  Our prestige has taken a blow... and it will be very clear to the rest of the world, the United States can't be trusted to keep a secret. Anything someone says to an American official will go into a diplomatic dispatch.. which will be left laying around, open reading for anyone who's curious.
