People around the world have varied opinions about the WikiLeaks spilling the beans. Some believe, even though illegal, it is a new level of transparency while others believe it is forbidden-type of illegal and puts thousands of lives in danger.
I am not sure whether it is illegal or not. That’s because anything on the other side of the law is bound to be illegal. Now, it’s a matter of choice, albeit for the chosen few, where to erect the wall of law. In this particular case of WikiLeaks, first of all I am amazed at the cracks in the armor of the high and mighty US Army and defense departments which have let a handful of individuals have access to the “top secret” documents and wires. Second, I am shocked at the contents of the documents. The parcels and parleys that go around in background have scant respect for human life. All the politicians are concerned about is their own and their countries’ political ambitions.
I don’t think the latest WikiLeaks will affect the relations between nations. At the most they are embarrassing and at the least entertaining. They sure will cause a lot of red faces around. The aftereffects of the red-face-situation have already begun with Mrs Clinton condemning the leaks and “deeply regretting” the same.
The leaks might not help the common man in any way, but, yes having a disease and knowing about it is always better than having it and not knowing about it. Now, at least we know what is going on.
