So because the media has gotten tired of covering the war these leaks are a good thing because it'll make people more aware of what is going on over there?

You do realize that we have the Freedom of Information Act here in Canada that gives us the right to retrieve information from government files, and its managed by the Information Commissioner, Suzanne Legault. This is the proper procedure to obtain this kind of information if we feel we need to have access to it.

Now, if it is a serious problem to get information through this method, then maybe we ought to be asking our government to change that.

Leaking documents is treason, and I don't care what the situation is.
