Well, my opinion is divided. Both to Wikileaks in general and to this promotion.
About the action: paralyzing the servers for a few hours may be a great action, but many people need these servers to live today. If I have to make a transfer to the tax office (there can be no question of want) such an action can be a threat to the existence of the company.
About Wikileaks itself: You should think about which diplomatic things to publish. Personal views are important and shouldn't necessarily be public. After all, politicians have to say to their colleagues that they can find someone to knock out and still drink coffee with this person afterwards. That Westerwelle is arrogant may be, I don't know him. But he can certainly speak English and not everyone has to be a crawler like Mr. Wörner who absolutely wanted to hold a press conference of NATO in Germany in English.
Basically, I am in favor of freedom of information on the Internet. The data that Wikileaks has published, some of which are classified as Top Secret, do not, in my opinion, belong on the WWW, because they have just been classified as secret. You can't pillory everything. It can even have dangerous consequences.
I consider blocking websites to be a criminal offense. Demonstrations, yes - but without violence (and nothing else are these blockades for me).

Hello Manni,
that with the secret is exactly the question I asked myself.
Basically the reports of the military about operations like the "helicopter incident" are secret, or the reports about the prisons like Abu Graib (spelling pure fantasy).
On the other hand, assessments of a political nature .....
But what about documents that reveal a man like the FDP mole?

Of course, it's sometimes a tightrope walk. However, I find that one should be very careful about making information that is not intended to be available to the public available to anyone in an apparently uncontrolled manner. A previous publication by Wikileaks reportedly included secret strategy papers on military actions in Afghanistan. That could cost human lives, for example. The publication of documents that expose or expose someone is also going too far for me. However, I can live with responsible transparency.

Hello Manni,
But we shouldn't forget that something like this has always been part of business. The internet has only made things a little easier.
On the other hand, the amount of documents is flooding and one shouldn't take the "strategy papers" too seriously, especially because of Afghanistan. When it was possible to predict the probable locations of our "dairy cows" after the enigmadebakel, it was a heavy blow for the submarines.
But what the Americans want to do secretly in Afghanistan will be revealed by the next Afghan minister at the latest to his tribal brothers for cash.
Klaus
Hello Klaus,
let's agree on your formula: (almost) everything is available for cash. You've got a point.

What I've read here only reflects what
show us Rtl and Co on TV.
oh yes what the politicians think of each other, that was that
Lead story, honestly, was that new?
There are documents at Wikileaks that are much more interesting.

As I read this I almost fell off the couch
but do you hear about it in the media? Nope.
I think it's good that the TRUTH comes to light and wants to
hope that many more corpses will be dug out of the cellar.
I also wish the USA would
spend as much energy on child pornography.
Manni: Unfortunately! Only I don't want to pay any money for information again
street devil: Well, you could read it at Spiegel Online. By the way, you're right, that was awesome!
