Reverse leaks
The Wikileaks fiasco is basically irrelevant, with one exception.
Why does a government need to keep secrets? To prevent the enemy from knowing its plans and progress.
Examining this set of secrets by that basic standard:
These leaks do not reveal any information that isn't already known by Pakistan and the Taliban. Pakistan already knows that Pakistan has Stinger missiles; Pakistan already knows about our killing of Pakistani civilians; Taliban already knows that Persia is supporting Taliban.
Who didn't know these facts prior to the leak? The American people.
Therefore: We can conclude that the American people are the enemy of the Bushobama government, and Pakistan and Taliban are allies of the Bushobama government. No real surprise. This has been obvious for many years. ¶ 8:42 AM
