HA!

My father survived D-Day, landing on the beaches of Normandy was Hell to the tenth power..Maybe if there was a Wiki back then, and they gave the plans for the Normandy invasion to the Nazi's, my father and a million more soldiers would have never come home.Some secrets are ment to remain secrets..

Wow, I dont know where to start on this one. First off wiki's are a design of website that allows for modification by anyone, wikis arnt the issue at hand, wikileaks is, learn what your talking about before you speak next time. Second, if someone was going to give the plans to wikileaks then they would have also presumably given them to the nazis, if wikileaks had it at least the allies would know that everyone knew what was happening, and the invasion could have been changed.

If an organization or government has secrets it wants to hide then it should ensure that secrets remain secret, not vilifying a website that released them to everyone after they were knowing leaked by an insider in said organization. It is better that information that has been leaked is known to be leaked as opposed to our enemies having information that we do not know they have.

All the publishing newspapers, removed information that might endanger people. The New York Times also asked the U.S. Governement wheteher they wanted to keep secret any further cables. The Government refused (!) to talk to Wikileaks about which pieces of information should be kept secret in the near future to protect people's lives.

World War II was an entirely different situation. The government was actually doing something good back then. All these documents release is diplomatic crap about governments doing bad and embarrassing things, which the public deserves to know about. The only people in danger from this are corrupt politicians, but they deserve to be in danger.
