Obviously, the govt shouldn't be keeping secrets from the people it governs.

I believe in a little thing called a right to privacy and frankly it's none of my business nor anyone else here what Alexander Downer says to Colin Powell in a private conversation. I don't have a problem with whistle blowing, but Wikileaks is not merely whistle blowing it's launching a full scale assault on the right to privacy.

That would require thousands of man hours to fine comb through each cable and define them either as gossip or of genuine interest to the public. Not worth their time to do this nor would they be able to.

This, (when dealing with government matters).

said Murphyad before turning to ponder why it was politicians treated their constituents with such contempt.

The free flow of information, especially dissent, is the highest cause. I understand that governments have a right and obligation to keep secrets, but it's their job to keep them better, and journalists have a right and obligation to ferret out any information they can.

A weak argument by your standards, there are much better ones you could have used. I serve my boss and survive on his money but do I follow his instructions to a fine point? Absolutely not if I did that I'd be wandering round a empty part of the warehouse for half my shift twiddling my thumbs, meanwhile in another section they'd have switched off the machine because the lanes are about to clog. Do I tell my boss each and everything I do at the warehouse and the reasons for it? Absolutely not, would it assist the company, the clients and anyone else concerned if I did? Well it might get someone else a job because the DC was running less efficiently but otherwise, absolutely not.
