What's "radical" is Washington classifying 95mn documents a year. Releasing a small percentage of them is the soul of moderation. #Wikileaks
@RancidTarzie It's hard to think of a single example of real-life radical transparency has existed–or has done any real harm.

@ChMadar i think wikileaks moderation is a problem myself. Sat on Cablegate for months. PJ Crowley admits, gave state time to organize. -
@RancidTarzie But what were the consequences of this lag that gave State time to do damage control? -
@ChMadar but if you believe that all good changes come from elites patting you on the head for good whistleblowing behavior, it's perfect. -
@RancidTarzie I hearya–but I don't think Guardian or Greenwald have been patted on the head (not nicely anyway) by state power. -
@ChMadar by the way, I would say Richard Cohen's endorsement comes as close to a pat on the head from the government as anyone can hope 4 -
@RancidTarzie I hope you're right, and that this kind of journalism is now boringly safe in the USA. But do DOJ, DHS fully agree? -
@ChMadar i wish people would look at this whole thing more analytically. like through some lens other than Greenwald's.
