Wikileaks

There seems to be overwhelming sentiment against Wikileaks' release of
confidential documents and I was wondering how people here (some of
whom may have read Brin's Transparent Society) felt about it.

I'm generally for transparency and haven't heard of anything yet that
is beyond mildly embarrassing to the U. S. government.  I do think
where the safety of our troops is concerned confidentially is
important, but that government secrets should have a relatively short
shelf life in all cases.
