In an absolutely ideal world, I agree. But that model only works if you can convince the rest of the worlds 200+ governments to follow suit. But in the world of today, the government that keeps no secrets is the one that topples first (especially if they have valuable resources). I mean, you wouldn't publish your computer password to the public world because everyone should be truth full and honest? And you cirtianly wouldn't not have any password on your computer? Most likely because you have personal information that you don't want getting out. This paradigm can apply equally to the government.

Comment they whole story.. (Score 1, Redundant) 565

These articles comments always seem to turn into an America bashing session (which, I have to admit is not only really cliche, but the obvious and easy target, and yes, there is plenty the US does wrong). But that fact is, the US, in this case, is the first ones to get caught. Does anyone really think that the US government is the ONLY ONE playing these kinds of diplomatic games? Gathering this kind of Intel? The stories that have come out about these cables are not really that surprising at all. What concerns me most is that PFC McDumbass was able to access these files and release them. Our (the US) security for these types of documents really needs to be fixed...
