How do you know that? How do you know what the "information" is? How do you know what standards were used to redact it or filter it or anything?

So today its "freedom of press" to publish every private diplomatic conversation regardless of their content, harming ties between nations, disrupting trade and trade agreements, negotiations, relationships and so on and the fun position is "anything and everything is OK by me" but few seem to grasp the implications of where that thinking leads.
