First: I don't have beliefs, I just have ideas.

Second: While I disagree with his ultimate bias, and admittedly that's what I focused my post on, it is a poor article. The questions that are then immediately answered, the occasional all caps usage, the expletive use, all contribute to it being a poor read.

The war information I was partially in favor of leaking since a lot of abuses were committed and revealed, but the exposure of foreign policy documents like what just happened exposes next to zero corruption. Secrecy and corruption are different things, and I think you're a lot better off with the US's style of 'corruption' in dealing with foreign leaders than a lot of other powerful countries. Nothing from these recent leaks reveals anything surprising.

The paypal and amazon thing is obviously not democracy, because private organizations choosing to cut ties with certain groups for image/PR reasons has nothing to do with government, and democracy is by definition a system of government. The principles of majority-rule, one-man one-vote style policy process have no connection to whatever entities of the private sector are choosing to do. I'm not twisting. Twisting is whatever you have to do to make a company decision by Amazon to stop associating with Wikileaks into an attack against democracy.

And please - tell me what my 'BS claims' are. What am I suggesting that is so preposterous and BS? Let alone dishonest.

First of all - I never called myself a patriot. How can you make such harsh claims about me when you have to assume so much to even set them up? Much like your philosophy rants you seem unable to open up for even a second to an idea that doesn't immediately attach itself to you. You may be a master of the kiddie pool but the world isn't 3 feet deep.

Secondly, the Wikileaks leaks will do nothing to right the wrongs of our leaders, which are equally often errors by the way. They're fallible too, although considering that you have already elevated yourself to near God-like status I can't say I'm surprised that you assume perfect execution of intention on the part of the faceless 'leaders' you're blasting.

And thirdly, what crimes did the recent leaks uncover?
