MzSBG: The WORLD as I see it!: WIKI LEAKS leaks official US Documents

So I didn't want to talk about this topic because I didn't want to bring any unnecessary attention towards it, but after seeing it covered on every major news station, and in every major newspaper, I figured that any attention this topic would get has already been given. Some of you may have already heard about the WikiLeaks foolishness, but for those of you whom this information may be new to, here's a little background info. WikiLeaks launched on the web in December of 2006. According to the BBC

"The site says that it accepts "classified, censored or otherwise restricted material of political, diplomatic or ethical significance" but does not take "rumour, opinion or other kinds of first hand reporting or material that is already publicly available"." - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10757263

The sites popularity surged when it leaked Guantanamo Bay procedures, Scientology, and emails from Sarah Palin's personal email account. And now today, the site released documents " part of what it says is a cache of more than a quarter-million U.S. diplomatic cables", this according to CNN.com. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/29/what-is-wikileaks-2/?hpt=T2

Public perception of today's leaks has been mixed. Some applaud the site for informing the public about information that would otherwise be inaccessible, and argue that the "leaks" are an exercise of our basic first amendment right to freedom of speech. Others argue that revealing thousands of classified US Federal Government documents places the United States at risk not only with other countries, but our allies as well.

Because I am inclined to agree with the latter half, I will not republish any of the documents here, but I will definitely say that going up against the United States Government by yourself is definitely some Sssh....You Just Don't Do.

Here's a clip from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in response of the leaks.
