My 2 cents:
I have severely conflicting reactions.
As you may know, I generally distrust large institutions of any kind. So I'm not the slightest bit surprised that, apparently, the military and the govt were feeding us inaccurate, unduly optimistic information about how the war situation was going. And for liars or spinners who otherwise aren't accountable, sunlight is a good thing.
On the other hand, even people like me with libertarian tendencies recognize that military operations are one thing that it has to be the govt who does it. And so far as I can tell, the release of this stuff will endanger both our soldiers and the Afghans and Pakistanis who have been helping them.
Talk about conflict.
