While I don't really condone putting lives at risk, for the sake of transparency, perhaps documents should be released. Not all, but some. I think that the government likely expresses most of its concerns in a way that seems to threaten lives, simply to gain support; the majority of that information is probobly more embarrasing than anything else. Transparency is important; if wikileaks would release such documents on countries from all across the U.S. Then that would be preferable, simply because the truth would be revealed. Obviously, it's not like they can just do so, seeing how it is clear that spies and leakers would have to have infiltrated any government that could be a good target, but the point is that as long as the information does not endanger lives, it should be posted for transparencies sake.
