Why don’t you all shoot the messenger while you’re at it? WikiLeaks merely published a cable. It didn’t write the cable, a cable that should never have been committed to traceable media. It published a document. That’s what news companies should do.

If you want security, don’t allow your words to be traced. Easy. Just don’t do it and whine after you’re caught. Democracy was hurt in this instance by a sloppy diplomat. We don’t need to censor our press or whistleblowers; we need a better, more discrete, more intelligent diplomatic force.

Let’s not slide back into Pamela Geller paranoia again.
