What is your opinion on Wiki-leaks?

They are stealing personal data from countries around the world including the U.S. Damaging relations with other countries. I think what Wiki-leaks is doing is completely wrong, but what is your opinion.

Update:

Not if our government wants to protect us from dangerous secrets, think about it, what if they told the world of your embarrassing secrets. People is getting killed over this it's threatening our national security and the security of lives.

    Information clearing houses are not stealing information.

    The data is given to them under " freedom of information " protocols.

    It's a way of releasing sensitive information but over-saturating the source.

    Which is why at the start wiki-leaks " trickled " the details a bit at a time.

    Just letting one set of embarrassing details sink in & another bomb-shell hit.

    Wiki-leaks had the right to publish the details & the general public HAS a right to know.

    All the gory details no matter how sensitive they are.

    lmao thats is the biggest joke, comeon you think it will damage the relations, please get real I found few stuffs on internet and clearly Americans Made some joke about presidents around the world wow now is that what you call "relationship" , You think it will damage?

    INNOCENT people have died THEY COVERED IT UP THERE ARE NO LOGS we get news like soldiers died in shooting Wat about civilians how many civilian have ever U heard that one civilian died IN shooting? you see thats just One of them, We live in a Dream world and all the politians and people with power lives in Another world, why don't you think about it we want the Truth not lies, imagine You mom and dad or ur friends died by the hands of soldiers how do u feel same for others there are things which government like to cover because it will damage the Country, Obviously i think What he done is brought the truth to the world, I found Saudi and another country was planning on attacking US, NO BODY KNOW ABOUT IT, how many innocent people should die so that many politicians can Hold their damn head High?

    I think Government itself is danger to its people, simple and clear, and more Why would anyone put important confidential documents ON A COMPUTER, I think they could've stopped this IF they write these ON a PAPER i mean it would be hard to steal a book if its kept in right place but on a computer thats just shows lack of responsibility and how lazy they are.

    i think of it fairly is extremely irresponsible. the countless issues they're revealing are going to reason extensive hassle not in basic terms for man or woman leaders yet for complete countries - the stuff approximately Saudi and Jordan wanted Iran to be invaded/bombed is going to reason much greater hassle in a area that already has greater advantageous than adequate issues and people who prefer to bypass to warfare with one yet another. The stuff that undermines particular leaders, by potential of exhibiting US opinion of them, is in line with danger much less significant - human beings will ignore approximately it and flow on quickly adequate, yet liberating stuff approximately private talks between countries that are occurring approximately bombing yet another usa is heavily irresponsible.
