re: #8 ggt
Obviously, if the government was hiding secrets about, say, murdering civil rights leaders, then it would be a huge good for anyone to reveal that, no matter what the law.
But revealing that civil right’s leader’s location when he was being hunted by extremist assassins would not be a good.
It matters what the information is, and the likely use it will be put to.
This is why Wikileaks sucks.
