Wikileaks

How dare we condemn wikileaks. 
The truth is what it speaks.
Yes, it is our government we are giving away,
but the truth is what it will say.

Being an American, we are so proud,
we look at everything through a cloud.
We don't see what is in front of us and clear,
we look down upon the world with no fear. 

Our secrets are exposed 
this case is closed...
I am one of you that is tired of this, 
I blow away my freedom, with a kiss.  

For this I feel shame,
this is where I stake my claim.
A human being is what I am.
Protecting your secrets, I don't give a damn.

As a former soldier I can say with honesty that I would not want secrets that would help the enemy kill me or my fellow soldiers or countrymen to be given to them. The stuff that just embarrasses the government I would not mind some of the stuff they do, dose need to be brought out. I really feel for those soldiers whos lives may have been put into more danger because of those postings. I will not read it and have not. Because of princapal. i give you a 5 for a good rhyme.
