Bradley Manning and Daniel Ellsberg are no heroes. How is leaking classified reports and papers to the public help anyone? Yes i believe in a transparent government but to a certain extent.  You can put people lives in danger by leaking the information to public.

Yeah, we better stay non informed and stupid sheeple. Thats sooo safe

While I do think we should know what happens and what our goverment is involved in, I would not call these people "heroes".

not heroes, but not villains either

[ViciouslyMe]

Thats right Nina. Though you never gave your own opinion.

I think i just did

[ViciouslyMe]

So heroes to you then?

not heroes, but not villains either

[ViciouslyMe]

Oh, well here I thought you were saying what my opinion was (sounded better in my head), but yeah all for that.

Yes  i believe we should have transparent government and however we also need a government keeps secrets. The entire world read and watch our new reports and if we tell advertise information. Then our enemies will use it for the advances.  "Warfare is the way (Tao) of deception." Sun Tzu 

I think the most problems in this world started with us gov and media calling the rest of the world an enemy. Guess what the rest of the world thinks of that?

Right, like a few years back when they announced on CNN that we had subs secretly placed outside of Iraq or Afganistan, one of those countries. Real discreet there. The best part was, they still had no idea. So yeah, it doesn't matter what is revealed. It doesn't guarentee that our "enemies" will know what we know.
