WikiLeaks just published a lot more classified US documents and now the politicians are blowing up in outrage.

Recently, WikiLeaks published several thousand classified documents from the US government.  This outrage by politicians is really getting under my skin.  Let me get this out first, I do not support WikiLeaks and I condemn their actions and some information does not need to get to the public.  By classifying documents, the government is protecting the American public most of the time.  I also believe that some of the times though, documents are classified to protect integrity of politicians.

What is getting me mad about the current outrage about the WikiLeaks leak, is now they want to make a big deal.  When the last leak happened, it put troops in danger for their lives and none of the politicians cared.  Now that the leaks are make them look bad, they want to be mad about it.  Now that they leaks are making us look bad to other countries, they want to be mad about it.

I agree that WikiLeaks should be arrested for damaging National Security of the United States, but the politicians should stop pretending like they care about the military.  This should have been done a long time ago.
