I don’t usually post on Sunday beyond the usual, but… this story really has me concerned. If there are lives at risk, should these leaks be stopped (can anyone)? But on the counter, what about the lives which may be saved because Governments have to act more responsible? Further, are we about to become intimately aware of the way our Government has been operating for a few years (more than the last two)? I think we are.

Crowley said the release will place “lives and interests at risk. We are all bracing for what may be coming and condemn WikiLeaks for the release of classified material. It will place lives and interests at risk. It is irresponsible.”

This is one of those times that a citizen should sit back and wonder what type of government do we really have? And, to what level are we, the American public, really knowledgeable about international relations… We sit here and watch as the tensions rise on the Korean Peninsula. Will we one day learn that governments were behind this?

The world is about to get scarier and brighter.
