Your "motto" in italics is interesting, in direct comparison to what you wrote above.
So you think only governments should have the right to lie, and that they should do so ? What about immoral governments belying their population ? I tell you what, a politician is amoralic by profession.

IMHO it is good that all people on the world see how war looks like, and has ever looked like. There is nothing "immoral" about it other than withholding such information and telling the people at home that "our boys do the job just right". The west is living on the dictatorship and exploitment of others, just think of China and big business, or AFrica and resources. How comes Saddam's Iran was attacked, but not the CHina of the chinese communist party, or North Korea ? Something like Bethlehem steel in World war 1.

The people who send the material are heroes, and they know damn well at which risk they sent it for publishing. I just hope this has consequences for the politicians who started the mess. I just doubt it, because they will always get through with the "great old man" farce.


Regarding the cluster bombs dropped in Aghanistan, Iran or wherever, as one general said as a reply to the question "do they all explode ?", or become a threat for future generations, his answer was " .. the only damn sure thing is they don't stay up in the air."
