Well after all, why not?  They've discovered a lot of uncomfortable truths about the manipulations of the US government, and are pushing them into the limelight, where they belong.

Complacency = Wank.  Fuck that.  Its well past due time that we *did something* about the criminal actions of the US government.  Hooray for the righteous wankers and their high horse, I say!  

About Time!

We could well be the target of a mass disinfo campaign being run by the US government itself, but how would we know - there are too many *real* secret crimes being hidden, daily.  The system does not, fundamentally, work to catch it all - just some.  So yes, we do need Wikileaks and organizations like them.

Hatred of the US is for good reason: it is an imperialist, war-mongering power, using its industrial strengths to impose criminal acts on peoples not under its own jurisdiction who deserve nothing of the sort.

Oh, we could say that about a million things, that its all just like another religion, but it won't be long after the next round of military incursions that start hitting closer to home that we don't all start to 'find religion' again ..
