Reply #12: That was fast. Have all the documents been released?

No danger, no crimes, just embarrassing and/or private communications made public.

Transparency for entertainment and reading material? These are not the Pentagon Papers.

Would have been great if these actually revealed a crime, corrected a wrong or anything related to the Bush administration horrors. Embarrassment is a low bar for compromising foreign policy.

Transparency is a good thing, but foreign policy is not being conducted in an environment in which all parties value Democracy and transparency. If world representatives fail to show or believe they can't speak freely, that is not condusive to diplomacy. The world is not paradise, and there are people in it who don't trust each other and those who would do others harm.
