How Will New WikiLeaks Revelations Affect Diplomatic Candor?

submitted by dotdude

Uploader Description: "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States "deeply regrets" the release of secret documents by the web site WikiLeaks, which include internal communications about foreign leaders and governments. Judy Woodruff speaks to two former National Security advisers Zbigniew Brzezinski and Stephen Hadley about what the revelations mean for the U.S.'s foreign relations."

Moving this video to dotdude's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

What a weak arse, softball interview. How about that these leaks will force governments to act more ethically, since the more reprehensible their activities undertaken in our names, the more likely it is that a conscientious staffer will want to blow the whistle?

There was more in the cables released at the time than simply how much of a dickhead any given head of state is.

The only pointed question she asked was about how ethical it was for Hillary Clinton to order diplomats to gather personal information on foreign dignitaries. For Brzezinski's assertion that this was nothing illegal to go unchallenged is absolutely astounding. Her only concern seemed to be that 'on balance' this would effect diplomatic relations.

The deference to power on displayed here is palpable.
