WikiLeaks opens the diplomatic bag
FT社評:維基解密是與非


如實瞭解執政者之行爲,有利於民衆在選擇領導人時,更好地作出決定,並向他們問責。所以把資訊公開化,符合民衆利益。但並不是所有資訊都屬於公共範疇。

The crusade continues. WikiLeaks, a website dedicated to disclosing official secrets, has begun releasing about 250,000 US diplomatic cables. This follows its publication of thousands of confidential military files relating to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Much of the new information is unsurprising – the US is concerned about Pakistani nuclear weapons; US diplomats, like their counterparts, spy as well as lie abroad for their country. The cumulative effect will to cause embarrassment, if not lasting damage.

鬥爭在繼續。致力於曝光官方機密的網站——維基解密(WikiLeaks)已開始發佈約25萬份美國外交電報。該網站之前就公佈了數千份與伊拉克和阿富汗戰爭有關的軍方機密檔案。新披露的許多資訊毫無出人意料之處:美國對巴基斯坦的核武器感到關切;美國外交官和全世界同行一樣,爲了自己國家的利益,在國外當間諜,並且說謊成性。此次曝光行動的累積效應,即使不會造成持久的損害,也必將引起尷尬。
