Main article: "WikiLeaks Release Reveals Ugly Side Of Diplomacy"

The article is about the news source WikiLeaks, which is an organization that releases confidential U.S. government secrets. Such secrets include what the U.S. government knows about Iran, a country they don't know much about. These releases could potentially help enemies of the U.S. by providing them important information about foreign affairs concerning those countries.
Are the people posting these secrets Americans?
What are these people hoping to accomplish?
I think WikiLeaks should not be publishing government secrets just because it can. This is highly unpatriotic--government officials are people too; their freedom of speech should not be infringed upon.

dearth-lack or scarcity of something
I agree that Wikileaks should not post government secrets because this can be detrimental for the United States. When information is leaked out, other countries may start to not trust us. Why can they not get rid of this site?
