138. I can make a more nuanced argument, but this thread hardly seems like the place for that.
Edited on Sun Dec-12-10 11:14 PM by GliderGuider
Pavulon is getting bent out of shape over a hypothetical situation he created regarding one single cable out of 250,000. I'm perfectly OK with that degree of risk, given what may be gained from the release of the other 249,999 cables.

The number of deaths of utterly innocent civilians caused by American troops in Iraq, in the course of a war founded on lies (a war that might have been avoided had someone had the balls to do this in 2002) makes Pavulon's hysterical hypothetical pale into insignificance.

I want as much transparency as is necessary to reclaim the accountability of governments for the use of the power we grant them with our ballots.
