The recent 'leakers' not only take no responsibility (Ellsberg did) but don't vet anything they release. It's just a public dump - and damn the consequences if people die. Assange didn't care. The AP leaker did not care. If the people doing the leaking don't care about whom they hurt - not politicians but the very people already being harmed by world and US policies - then what good are the leaks??? Outrage is useless. Standing alone as a Godaintitawful moment of feel good snottiness, outrage actually gives aid and comfort to the elites. They can then show the utter irresponsibility of the leaker whose callous disregard utterly discredits them and removes all value from the act of exposing information. This kind of irresponsible activity is the province of Operation Rescue and their ilk who pretend to practice "civil disobedience" in closing clinics but then REFUSE to accept responsibility and consequences for their actions. That's not civil disobedience. It's thuggery. Now the faux Left does it, too. We are becoming a nation of theatrical acts rather than courageous resistance. Worse, we are losing all judgement about what IS a courageous act or one that is capable of making change. <br /><br />There are no Daniel Ellsbergs anymore that we can see. He's been replaced by juvenile delinquents who just smash things. That's NOT progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
