Fox News on WikiLeaks

“The govenrment needs to be exposed because it cannot be trusted to expose itself.” Even Fox News praises WikiLeak’s release of Afghan war logs as a necessary check against secrecy. The conservative network’s commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano defended the recent release of the many thousands of secret documents detailing the reality of the war in Afghanistan. The government’s feigned surprise or its attempt to downplay the negative realities presented in the documents is further proof of a too secretive and dishonest intelligence service, says Napolitano. He concludes by saying that gathering information about the government is a natural right.
