Thread:Comments:Wikileaks releases Iraq War logs/Why the focus on the U.S.?/reply (3)

I wouldnt say that WIkileaks has an "anti-American" agenda, although it is apparent that the United States military has a great deal of information that it is trying to hide from the public. If you've read the leaked documents it is very clear that the release of this information would not place American soldiers in any sort of danger. In this case the "classified" label is being used by the DoD as a stamp of convenience on any information that could potentially present a public relations problem, rather than for actual national security reasons. Furthermore it is soundly in the public Interest of the United states that this information be published, as there is very little public oversight of military activities and based on all the available the evidence, it would seem that The DoD is not acting in good faith in their attempts to keep these details secret. Wikileaks is on a mission to speak truth to power - It happens to be the case that at the moment, the United States is by far the world's greatest power, accordingly  there is no doubt that it is being targeted as such. However if The People's Republic of China or The United Kingdom or India were to fill the #1 spot in terms of global domination, - Wikileaks would focus their efforts on exposing these powers' secrets in the public interest instead. It would be fair to say that Wikileaks' agenda is Anti-Hegemonic, but not  Anti-American.
