Discussion: Is Wikileaks overall more harmful or more beneficial to society?

Opening Statement:

Too start this debate off, Wiki-Leaks hasn't truly done anything wrong. Yeah, so what. Wiki-leaks released never before seen footage of hidden government documents that a couple of white men in suits hid from the people of United States. If there is gonna be an achievement for peace, not one person can be above the law. If we ever wanna learn how to be come an independent and wise nation......................................................................................................... and to do this:
We must first start with putting our trust into our people. Hiding the truth from the state is like den eying there freedom.


All wikileaks has done is expose the truth hidden up with all of the Governments lies. It presented better evidence against the argument of what have we done, and are still doing in all these wars. For example; Afghanistan, what the hell have we been doing in Afghanistan for about 10 years or maybe so?!!! If you were to ask me, I don't buy the purpose of Governments hiding these documents was all to avoid riots, protests, etc. It was all just a a way to hide America/ Governments dirty work.

The recent leak of 90 thousands classified military documents relating to the war in Afghanistan by the website wikileaks.org has confirmed the existence of Task Force 373 - a covert U.S. military squad tasked with capturing or killing over 2,000 targets on a special list called the JPEL (Joint Prioritised Effects List).



Seem's like the Governments been creating groups that relate a little too much to Black Ops communities. None of these actions were taken into vote or even considered over any citizen with below money and wealth averages.

To my knowledge, Wikileaks has not actually caused much physical harm, especially in the last leak of the diplomatic cables. Indeed, the diplomatic cables merely showed that US diplomats held some negative views of other diplomats: I am sure that everyone realizes that no relationship is without its problems. The leak merely brought these views out into the spotlight, without actually changing much.

The most damaging harm, in my opinion, has come in the form of loss of trust within the US government. The US's inner workings are slowly being peeled apart and displayed to the whole world as a testament to the ineptitude of the US to keep its documents secret. Even though these documents themselves may not have led to much harm, the fact that they were released at all is a sign that the US government is not as secure as previously thought.



AND.......

Don't' even get me started on the arrest of Julian Assange founder of WikiLeaks. He unlike others, trully served his purpose and service to this country more than any other "solider" has.
