@rahulsagar @csoghoian if leaks expose wrongdoing on the part of government, why should anyone but the bad officials be held responsible?

@emptywheel@ValeriePlame what about@WndlB's question: Would you rather host an embassy cocktail party shortly before or after Wikileaks? -
@jsalsman But she was ALSO unaware of how WL had exposed our own hypocrisy on precisely the issues at hand.@ValeriePlame@WndlB -
@emptywheel@jsalsman@ValeriePlame Right--and a HUGE difference between socially awkward and disclosing bomb designs/attack plans. -
@WndlB Even as govt employee working on precisely those issues, she was unaware how US violates issues she works on@jsalsman@ValeriePlame -
@emptywheel like paying for exploits from organized crime w/o reporting them for patching allows both bad cops and robbers more surveillance -
@jsalsman Not precisely what I was saying. More that even people within the beast need the secrets to know what govt is doing. -
@emptywheel use of the term "the beast" does not inspire confidence that you think things are going the way Jefferson & Franklin intended

@emptywheel@ValeriePlame@jsalsman 90+% of 'leaks' are to favorably spin what's going to be coming out anyway: See, Obama's budget -
@WndlB@emptywheel@ValeriePlame trying to find proportions of leaks damaging national security and expose wrongdoing; don't care about spin -
@jsalsman Next up, definition of "damaging national security." Manning made things embarrassing. See also, worries about cop locator app.
