Then there is the starting of a war on a premise that was shaky at best, the war on terror that has been one unending disaster after another that has done very little but cost the American citizens countless dollars and civil liberties.
Maybe more people should have an axe to grind with the US.
I'm certainly not all that happy about the current state of American affairs.

I don't disagree with your premise. But this guy is casting an awfully wide net, and he's pretty much focused on one government.
Yes the American business misconduct during this crisis was deplorable.
The war on terror is being fought the wrong way and focusing on the wrong spots at time.
Up until the surge in Iraq, and the surge thats happening in Afghanistan these were not well run wars. Correction, Iraq was well run until they moved from the actual war fighting stage to the tamping down resistance stage.
America's conduct has not been exemplary, and continues to struggle.
I don't even really have an axe to grind with wikileaks even though I think that a lot of the documents that he is releasing are open to really wrong interpretation, and in a lot of cases can be really harmful.
I have an axe to grind with the leakers, I think they're traitors and scum.
