Wikileaks

Obama warned on Friday that the WikiLeaks website leaks will endanger "lives and interests", after someone posted information that detailed how the US goes about relations with foreign countries. The government is worried about the erosion of trust in the US by its allies because they apparently contain sensitive information.

In short, this is stupid because the government should not be keeping secrets. In fact, why should our government need to be keeping secrets? If they were limited to the Constitution, then they wouldn't have to keep a whole lot of secrets. They brought this on themselves, and I hope that WikiLeaks keeps getting this information. If it damages our reputation, who gives a damn? Why were we doing it in the first place?
