[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1378176, member: 1132"] Most all non signals intelligence is collected by humint, or "on the ground" sources. Leaked classified information that was gathered by these sources is often single source or "he was the only other guy in the room when that was said" stuff. If a foreign government or terrorist discovers material in those wikileaks that could only have come from sources close to them, thos people are likely to wind up dead. This shuts off the tap on additional information and is bad for future intel business for the US. Who wants to give us info if they know it may wind up on the internet, getting them killed in the process? This doesn't even take into account how much more dangerous it is for our operators to work in the enemy's midst. :( [/QUOTE]
