Weekly Article 03

Over the past few weeks a non-profit organization known as WikiLeaks has dropped bombshells with the release (or "leaks) of important classified documents from governments around the world. The argument from the organization is that they want to keep governments "open" about their issues and policy. Read some articlesabout the WikiLeaks debaucle and express your thoughts about the global issue. This post should be in the format of a letter to the editor of a major newspaper expressing your opinion (an OpEd).


To Daily Mail


Due to a non-profit organization known as WikiLeaks has been giving classified information to governments all over the world. This is not a good idea as governments could get very angry and not like what the information is about which could start lots of problems. Such as wars, strikes, and riots in cities and countries. What gives the right to these organization to give out information? There are no rules or laws about giving out information and the organizations are not doing anything wrong. But hurting governments and countries relationships which could possibly start world war III. Keeping governments open about issues and policy's might be a good idea but you do not know how they will react to the information and what consequences will occur due to this information being released. I don't know what the organizations are trying to accomplish but its not right what there doing. Like many people say what governments do not know will not hurt them. Which is right in the case for everyones own good and safety. If governments are open they can help each other much better if they know everything about the government. Then we can all live under one government we wont need countries or branches of government anymore and there would be no more wars. Sort of like Communism, which may not work for todays world.
