Wikileaks and it's founder should be held accountable for every death they cause. They are hurting our efforts around the world. Many good people with good intentions will be hurt by this action. He is not on the side of America and he does not give a crap about"free speech". He is a self serving piece of crap that would run over your grandmother if he could get 5 minutes of fame from it.
I would shoot him on sight and proudly spend the rest of my life in jail.

This is the kind of response that always amuses me. What deaths? What's a situation where releasing this information and our government being held accountable will cause the death of Americans? What "good people with good intentions" are now at risk moreso this week than they were last week before the release?

You spout the same baseless, sensationalist rhetoric as Hilary Clinton been about this topic. Terrorists are no more motivated to kill Americans today than they were last week. The Taliban isn't going to work any harder to destabilize Afghanistan today than they did last week. Iran wasn't about to give up their nuclear program and has changed their mind now.

I *do* completely agree with you that he's self serving with a personal vendetta, but I have yet to read of any information released that substantiates the "Americans are going to die because of this" garbage.

So again I ask, who are the "good people with good intentions" that are going to die because of this?

I'm glad your amused JD. I'm not alone in my analysis that people will lose thier lifes over this. I'm glad you think of that as garbage.
So you think this pathetic rapist is doing the world a great service.Speaks volumes of you.

JD, you always seem to agree with everyone

I think the key word here is “Americans”.

People will die over this, they will be the Government Informants that were listed in the released documents. Although not Americans, I would think it's safe to say some of those people will die as a result of this CLASSIFIED information being leaked and those people being called out.

This has potential to do long term damage as it will be harder for our country to get informants because they will now have to worry about their name being leaked.

You asked: Are terrorists more motivated to kill Americans today than they were last week? Probably not, but it will be harder now for us to gain trust of someone willing to provide information.

[Piscator]

I forgot to add, these "informants" probably aren't model citizens anyway. They do it for the money right?

The important thing is it will make it harder to find them and what will the cost be now..............

By leaking this sort of stuff, you put the lives of members of the intelligence services of many nations at risk. They are paid employees of the state who we go to extraordinary lengths to protect the identity of. Not to be confused with a thug informant...

And to think of the uproar over Libby's non release of that "special agent's" name....what was it ...Valerie Flame or something.
