I've had people make the same argument to me against the WikiLeaks leaks in general, except with the Obama regime instead of the Mugabe one.
That embarrassing a corrupt government is going to lead to a crackdown is no real excuse not to embarrass them, as they're going to find an excuse to crack down either way.

452,000 is "new claims" not the total number of unemployed in the US.
America has unemployment over 10%, that amounts to 5+ million people receiving benefits and several million who didn't qualify or whose benefits have run out.
1 + 1 = 3, for large values of 1.
