California Voters Approve Gay-Marriage Ban

If wiki leaks broke into your house and stole your email accounts and started publishing private conversations between you and a lover online would you want people donating to such an organization so they could perpetrate more theft?

Transparency during war time is like your own troops drawing a map in the sand so the enemy knows your every move... I do not support wikileaks... I support fairly elected officials of sovereign states.

That is not quite the way I see it.

I see it as whistle blowers within a group of people seeing corruption and sharing it with you and I. Wiki leaks was not the only publisher that thought that this type of info should be published.

I know we have been taught that this is the way to think but I still question it.

I look at our wars like a group of teen aged kids in a gang going around acting like the mafia and telling everyone how good they do for their own communities and around the world and then you have wiki leaks that reveals a little more info than the gang wants you to know.

I think that there are some decent people in the military but I also think that there are some bad apples as well and they are all led by people who have agendas that we all do not agree with.

Wrong premise; it was the sloppy way in which the information was leaked. Nobody had to break into anybody's house to get the info. Rather, it was a weakness in the internal controls; that can be blamed to the "security clearance" given to an unstable individual.

If your bank's internet connection is not secure, who would you blame if outsiders got your account information because an employee leaked that info?

Nobody broke into the bank.

Educate me, I am ignorant and come from a sheepish grain fed ignorance fostered by mass media that has been "government approved". I do remember media members threatening to go to Iraq and act as human shields to prevent the Iraq war. We are damned either way sometimes.

Where are the Bradley Mannings to expose the Taliban's hateful mentality and gross civil rights violations that ave been perpetrated for many years even before the war started?

I am only sharing my view point is all and I am not trying to say I am correct but rather trying to see other view points and why people come to these conclusions.

I personally think that you are very educated and should be able to read wiki leaks if you chose. Many people have been threatened "military personal, government personal and college students" "that if they do read them they could be in trouble. Talk about mind control.

That is very old info and I do not think that there has been a lack of talk about it.
