Wikileaks!!!

As most of you that follow this (classmates and teach) know, several top secret government files were leaked to the public and are being published by selected news resources such as the NY Times. Many of these files and cables reference meeting with foreign diplomats, and could potentially ruin ties and allies with other countries. Basically now people know for sure the tactics of the United States when it comes to foreign relations, that is, we try to keep tabs on everyone.
      So what does this mean for our country, is anything at stake. Some argue that this kind of stuff has been known for years and that this will not change anything. My view is that this is false. Many people could be in danger now that these files have been leaked. I also believe that we will lose trust because these "private" diplomatic meetings are now known to the general public. The gossip between countries has been revealed with exact quotes and texts. I am not saying that wars will be started over this, but there will definitely be trust issues when it comes to America's foreign relations. Hopefully it won't be too bad....
