It's not that nothing changes; it's that things get worse.
For fuck's sake, just look at the 20th century.
Now, more than ever, we need to know what the hell is going on.

Oh the weapons change the degree of carnage has changed but we're still trying to solve our problems by killing each other.
I agree we should know what's going on. I really don't see anything in these leaks that I didn't already believe to be true. Raise your hand if you honestly believed we weren't torturing people. Raise your hand if you thought there weren't a whole lot more civilian causalities then the DOD was reporting. So I guess they verify to some degree. But I also believe some, maybe a lot, are inaccurate when taken at face value. A lot of these are field reports given in the fog of war. Plus they concern me in that they may be putting more troops at risk. I know we're done with Iraq and it's over over there but I keep getting e-mails from friends who seem to still be there. I like not to put them in any more danger then they already are.
