It is interesting about the discussion regarding the in and out of Wikileaks as it pertains to the current administration.
Here is the bottom line - Wikileaks is neither evil or good, in the traditional sense.
Wikileaks is amoral, it does not care what it releases, it feels that EVERYTHING musty be exposed, no matter who it hurts.
That does not make it evil, but it makes it wrong.
The right of free speech is not absolute, it is always constrained by humanity.
The First Amendment says:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Just because Congress can make no law respecting an establishment of religion, does not make every religion right.
Just because Congress can make no law abridging the freedom ............of the press, does not make the press always right.
And just because Congress can make no law abridging the freedom of speech, goes not make all speech right.
With any freedom comes responsibility - if you do not accept the responsibility, then you cannot claim the right.
