Wikileaks - Is the Truth Damaging?

polifrog



Leaks damage those who seek control of truth most, as the apparatus of that control is exposed by truth.

I tend to believe the truth is most damaging to governments with too much power. If our government were not so large, were not so invasive, and instead governed within its limits, these leaks would never had cause to exist. Ask yourself --- Could similar leaks have occurred within the first 50 years of this nation's founding?

Consider the Soviet Union. Most of us came of age with the USSR as a question mark behind an iron curtain, or more accurately, a government so pervasive that all truth was controlled.

In short, free nations of limited powers have few if any instances of the truth leaking as truth is privately held rather than a government controlled commodity with which to herd the citizenry.
