The more i think of it the less I even care whether Wikileaks "endangers Americas foreign interests"
Here's why: The way I see it, with the illegal invasion of Iraq America lost all rights for concern of "national interest". The situation is similar as in post world war two Germany. The United States are guilty of crimes against peace and crimes against humanity, and as such, the books should be opened and whatever comes out comes out. Would, after world war two, concerns that opening the archives could "endager someone who has been working for Germany" been of any relevance? No they wouldn't have, and shouldn't have been.

Do I know whether something that has been revealed by Wikileaks could have in fact "damaged Americas national interest"? Honestly, no I don't. But as long as Bush and Cheney are not rotting in jail, I will not care.

2. Agree, more or less. Obviously, there are some....
.... legit national interests, but our keepers have Orwellianized the term and it is doubtless being applied nonsensically.... but deliberately.... to all sorts of nefarious goings-on.
