Thread:Comments:Wikileaks website attacked; millions of files to be released tonight/Why, Wikileaks?

This and the recent events make Wikileaks look increasingly irresponsible with their "leaked" documents.

Don't get me wrong. I respect Wikileaks and their willingness to bring light to controversial issues with complete disregard for government pressure and personal threats, as is the case with this recent leak.

But aren't they also acting with complete disregard for the safety of others?

This is such a perfect leak with a perfect timing to break the relationship between the west and the middle east that I'm starting to question whether Wikileaks has a political agenda of its own or not. It just blows my mind how well-timed this leak is, how bad it's going to affect the middle east and how Wikileaks is going to actually leak these documents come rain or political thunderstorm.

I only hope that this doesn't completely break what's left or undo what little progress everyone's made so far.
