Really Now?

I've talked about WikiLeaks before, but it frustrates me that the founder Julian Assange says that he doesn't feel guilty for what he did, and that the law isn't simply what "Hillary Clinton says it is." No, the law is not to be manipulated by those in power. The law is to protect the people and establish equality and balance in the country. The law is not to abused. But neither are our rights.

We have a responsibility to the people to inform them of the truth, yes, but to also protect them. The world is not a perfect and honest place, Mr. Assange, and just because you publish these documents isn't going to make the world a better place. If anything, more chaos will ensue. Some things are meant to be kept secret. All the horrible things revealed about the United States government and espionage are revolting and disappointing. But, though this is no justification, other countries are doing it, too. What do you plan to do about it? It's easy to reveal all this information and point fingers, but if you don't have your own method of rectifying the status quo, don't bother criticizing. It's annoying.
