Yes I am a Cold War liberal people always forget that for some reason.
I doubt any of us fully knows the results of Wiki-leaks' disclosures but I think you're sort of turning things on their heads. If there have been dire consequences stemming from the Wiki-leaks revelations, the responsibility for them, in my view, sits squarely on the shoulders of our government. If they hadn't committed, or covered up, these crimes, there would have been nothing to "leak" and there would have been no blow-back.
