Leaks

Today was a day that Wikileaks decided to put lots of documents out in the open, for everyone to read. It contained mostly diplomatic communications and thoughts about certain world leaders, that mostly were not on a positive note.

Now i've always been someone about open governments, and I believe even President Barack Obama vowed to have this during his run as a President.
And here's what I think is interesting. Despite the 'Open Government' policy that they all like to have, it is heavily resisted, now certain documents have seen the light of day.

But like I said, I like the fact that the government would be more open towards their citizens, yet what Wikileaks is doing is wrong. In fact, it is this kind of 'Open Policy' that could cause major political and diplomatic damage around the world.

Just think... a certain hostile nation like North Korea reads something about their leaders, go ballistic and start to attack whoever is in range. BOOM !!! And a war starts. The Middle East is already an unstable region for many decades, and the publications of these documents from Wikileaks, certainly won't be helping.
I think, in a worst case scenario, it could eventually lead into a third World War, and this only because of these documents one person insisted on publishing online.

With that said, I also think that the goverments should be more careful about how their information can be downloaded to USB sticks, Laptops etc. etc.
The Pentagon already decided to upgrade their computer systems, so things like this could not happen again... But it's already too late.

In my country, it seems to happen a lot as well. I've heard constantly about documentation being out in the open, because for instance a politician forgot his laptop or lost a USB stick.

If Wikileaks decide to continue with publishing documents that have a high risk factor like causing diplomatic relations to become frail between two parties, it should be better off by cooperating with these governments and reveal whoever is the mole that somehow delivered that information to them.
In the event Wikileaks is responsible for hacking, they should be arrested for cybercrimes etc.

But while I am all typing this, I suddenly wonder one thing. Many people around the world are convinced that their governments, or at least that of the U.S. are hiding the fact that they have worked on Extraterrestial craft (UFO's) or are in contact with beings from above.
Now if this is true, then publish these kind of documents.

All in all, I hope that Wikileaks will stop publishing material like this, unless it's ofcourse about Little green men.
