WikiLeaks just made the world more repressive - The Globe and Mail

WikiLeaks just made the world more repressive - The Globe and Mail: "This latest Wikileaks release continues the spineless, voyeuristic and manipulative behaviour of someone unwilling to take responsibility for the 2nd and 3rd orders of consequences of this action. You bet, there will be increased security issues - for aid workers, citizens, diplomats, reporters, allied military in theatre, and more. Furthermore, 'questioning' democracies, either formally mentioned in the reports, or watching on the periphery, will clamp down on human rights. Canadians have a lot at stake in Afghanistan, and in other messy parts of the world, much of which involves human lives on the ground. Who is going to benefit from the release of this information? Taxpayers? Military dictatorships? Hollywood screenwriters? Bored bloggers?"
