This is a normal post No, not necessarily.
but I think the risks to these people have been overstated by the same people who are obsessed with Assange's character - those with the darkest secrets to hide.
As far as I'm aware there has been very little evidence suggesting that informants or anyone else has lost their life due to the leaks.

Regarding your submarine argument, I think that's where common sense comes into it.

This is a normal post That's an over emotive defence of the Great Leader
August 1, 2010
"1,300 people were eventually killed, and 350,000 were displaced. That was a result of our leak,"

"WikiLeaks has a four-year publishing history. During that time we have changed whole governments, but not a single person, as far as anyone is aware, has been harmed. But the US, with Australian government connivance, has killed thousands in the past few months alone."

That's cleared that up then...

This is a normal post Seeing as these informants live in countries where you can get tortured or killed for just saying the wrong thing
Being found out to be a CIA informant has got to rate rather highly in a risk assesment hasn't it?

Let's hope those dark secrets are worth it. Personally it'ld have to be a really dark one for the US Gov not to just shrug it off.

This is a normal post does your thirst for prosecution extend to those responsible for the documented deaths of tens of thousands of afghanstinis as a result of their decision to invade
or only to those who may or may not have indirectly caused some informants to die?

This is a normal post If people are killed outside of the rules of law for war then they should be prosicuted
I certainly think Obama should be called to task on his bombing of Yemen, Pakistan etc.

This is a normal post oh, I'd love to hear what these 'rules of war' are.

This is a normal post You claiming ignorance of the geneva convention and rules of engagement or just don't agree with them?

This is a normal post Im more curious about what defines a legal engagement of war in your books,
because Iraq certainly wasn't legal 10 years ago. Also, not sure how the Geneva convention is relevant to Wikileaks, apart from the fact that leaks have revealed that the US has breached it numerous times.

This is a normal post I do enjoy our occasional Assange tennis
Amadeus tries a smash. a defensive lob from cumquat. amadeus on the attack again, but he's put to much spin on that shot, cumquat should put this one away... No, he's shanked it into the net
