Ron Paul Defends Wikileaks

[Bruno@MT]

I think it is important to consider the following: the cables themselves are low level stuff. It is 'just' diplomatic communications, containing gossip about classified stuff, informal and formal messages etc. They may mention things like coverups or blabber about investigation bias etc, but they are not the actual files themselves.

So while the cables themselves are low level, that does not mean that the things that are mentioned in them is also low level.

So... it seems rather interesting to see that US officials are now admitting that no serious "harm" has been caused by the leaks. In fact, the White House has admitted privately that it purposely lied about the supposed impact " in order to bolster legal efforts to shut down the WikiLeaks website and bring charges against the leakers."
