I agree that transparency is a key issue with governments and militaries these days, but some people are privvy to some very damaging and dangerous information that really isn't suited for dinner table conversation.

I'm particularly concerned about the identities of agents, informants, and sources being published, which really does put them in grave danger.

I just don't see what purpose most of this information will serve for most people?

That said, I'm interested to see what dirt they've dug up!
I believe that while information can doubtless be dangerous to specific people, or in specific circumstances, the more is known by the public at large the better off we are.

Secrets, by and large, are dangerous and usually cease being so when they are no longer secrets.
