re: #470 jamesfirecat

But the argument you suggest to keep things within limits would place Wikileaks on the side that you can’t use covert action to close off!

So your two arguments taken together seem to be self defeating!

No, it wouldn’t. Covert action does not need to be violent, nor does its justification need to be the use of violence by the leaker. The justification to me is simply that the information being leaked will cause serious damage to our war effort.
