AI Thread Summary
The leak of US embassy cables by Wikileaks has ignited a global diplomatic crisis, raising questions about the impact of exposing candid diplomatic discussions. While some argue that transparency could benefit nations like North Korea and Iran by revealing global sentiments towards them, others believe it undermines trust in diplomatic communications. There is speculation about potential resignations among diplomats, particularly Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, although many assert that no wrongdoing occurred and resignations are unlikely. Countries worldwide, including France, have condemned the leaks, framing them as attacks on state sovereignty, yet many governments continue to support the US. The situation highlights the delicate balance between transparency and the necessity of discreet diplomacy in international relations.

I agree that's unusually excessive and cruel. Totally against anything and everything I ever signed up for 20 years ago.

If they're at all concerned about his safety, simply put him in a jacket, a rubber room, and raise the temperature a few degrees so that he won't shiver while sleeping, and give the traitor a humanitarian night's rest.

Anything else merely negatively reflects upon the integrity of the United States as a whole, while bringing into question, "Who the hell is in charge of these going-ons?" along with a side comment, "This isn't right. Ever."

Better he breaks before trial than during or after... and leaving him intact is hardly an option. In a better world, he'd be treated humanely until execution, but we don't live in that world.

He's still better off than most traitors...

It's not true, he is not being awakened at night and he has two blankets to sleep with at night.
