The national security of what country? I suspect it could improve the security and life of some affected countries. If there was no exploitation and shady operations that seriously harm others, there would not be such excitement in the US government.

The national security of all countries involved. Sensitive diplomatic information is often better handled by diplomats. Unleashed to the masses, it may cause unnecessary aggression, maybe even riots somewhere. Not to mention that it puts a lot of people's lives at risk.

Best handled by diplomats? Because us unwashed masses can't handle the truth, public debate just second-guesses those who are in charge, and we should really leave the important things to the ruling class?

Just take a walk in the mall today and tell me if you think those people are ready to handle the truth.

This discussion could circle for ages.

Maybe those people are like they are because they are living in a glittery facade world based on ignorance for too long?
