Wikileaks

 To whom it may concern,

    In recent weeks there has been uproar around the world due to a little website called Wikileaks. This website displays leaked information mostly about the war on terror in the Middle East and the purpose of this is to show governments for who they really are. To show the average person things that we never knew went on. Although on paper this may seem like a good thing, it has and will create more problems for us and our international affairs with other countries. Just because you have good intentions, it doesn't always mean it turns out as a good thing.
   The information on this website is strictly classified and this means that it is not meant for the average person to view it. The reason the government does not show us this stuff is because as a whole society cannot see things as gruesome and unbelievable like the footage they show. Also there is no reason to show this. What good does it do? None. The only thing it does is create conflict within our country and gives our enemies more of a reason to hate us. The majority of people in this world have not experienced the horrors of war and the duties they are required to perform in order to come out of situations alive and saves numerous of other lives. Yes innocent people have been killed by accident but that's the cost of war. The few that die do not amount to the numerous ones saved by the effort we put in there. What people must understand is the fact that the glamorized version of war is not the reality. Also that this is not the first time in a war that things like this have happened. With the addition of all the new technology we have, it is very easy to get this information out quickly and to many people. Nothing is good when all of the media becomes involved. So in order to keep out these terrorists who absolutely despise Americans and want to see us all perish, we must take care of things there first. Freedom and safety comes with a great price, and I think at times people forget about this.
    As you can see, something must be done about this website. The creator does as much damage as the terrorists in the Middle East, but just with a different method. He is endangering people's lives and can create a full out war. And what right does this man have? He is not an American. He has no part in this matter. Unfortunately there are no laws set up to protect us from this because this is the first instance of this we have seen. So maybe this is a lesson for us so we can have laws set up before things get out of hand. Not any one person should have the right to impact a nation as negatively as this man has done to us.
                                                      Sincerely,
