And what truly worries me about Wikileaks is not the immediate damage that has been done by the release of this sort of information, but the fact that the latest drop has created an enormous, nearly unanimous backlash in the United States.
I think our torturing, invading and killing has already done that, but that's just me.

And of course there's absolutely zero evidence of any actual immediate damage done.
If the damage that Wikileaks has done is to make our diplomat corps think twice about writing down their innermost stupidity, then it's accomplished much.
Would our crack team in Yemen have smilingly agreed that it was very important for the poobah to claim he was doing the bombing rather than us if they knew the information would be public soonest? Maybe our diplomacists will think twice next time.
We can only hope.
"nearly unanimous"?
As they used to say on the reality show "Starting Over," "YOU'RE MAKIN' THAT UP."
