@ Truth has a scratched face --- Telling the unpleasant truth comes always at the price. If something was damaged by Wikileaks that was the trust of the American people in their government.

If spying, hiding secrets and making decisions behind closed door is legitimate, why would that kind of transparency and exposure brought by WikiLeaks be criminal? Those were not "private" communications, between individuals, but "official" communications, between institutions.

The governments (and not only) can, at any moment invade the privacy of individuals, what's so wrong in the individuals' opportunity to know more about the inside world of their governments?
