Apperantly a republican senator held up an Obama ambassadorship for Iceland because wikileaks is hosted/headquartered in Iceland.

Have to say this leak has me both liking and disliking it. On one hand I think its important to know the truth about whats happening in a war, but on the other hand a military does need secrecy in order to operate above their enemies, especially like others have said here in the intelligence field.

Releasing names that is beyond stupid, so really I think this wikileaks guy was rushing to get this out and not thinking about the obvious consequences some of it would have.

Whistleblowing is key in a lot of things, I'm appreciative of those who dare go against their employers or in this case something even scarier, the military. But damn, there is just some information that shouldn't be released.
