Bullshit!
The only risk is to the ego of some of these diplomats who think they are the big shits...

I voted yes for the same reasons...
Backroom deals are done in the "backroom" because those making the deals know if they were to attempt to do so out in the light of day where the average citizen could see what they were doing, the dealmakers be ousted at the next election.

I'm voting no so that it will not be unanimous.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Diplomatic traffic should be private but if they can't even implement a decent security system then they deserve to be exposed.
I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going, and hook up with them later.
I voted "yes" for the same reason. Maybe these dunces will now think twice about putting their lame-brained comments on the record, showing the rest of the world how petty and mocking they are.
Nothing is secure anymore and people shouldn't just assume what they say off the record will remain off the record.
I voted yes because these 'negotiations' are supposed to be done in our name, on our behalf, and at our behest. we should know every damn thing about them including how many times the diplomat went and peed.
You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence. —CHARLES A. BEARD

I voted yes because I am a sheeple...

I voted yes because I have a right to know what my employees are up to.
Does your employer have the same right?
Loyal to the end
Yes. I have a right to know what I've been up to. *shrug*
Does your Mom have a right to know what you're doing in her basement?

Massive retard FAIL back there.
I do not believe this question can be reduced to a simple yes or no. Undoubtedly much of what has been released should have been released but there should be instances, particularly at times of intense negotiation, when secrecy should be respected.
What I found the juiciest was the cry from Hilary that these disclosures threaten lives. What she really meant to say (but it was a secret!!!) was that it would be HER life and career in danger. (no politics intended simply the old whine that those in power will do anything, ANYTHING to hang on to that power. That is Putin and Kim, Obama and Cameron, Ahminadinnertime and the Saudi royals.)

If you feel so inclined a comment would be appreciated.
Respect a believers right to believe, but they should damn well repect our right to challenge such utterly illogical notions.
I'm just disappointed the leaks didn't include any clandestine sex videos.

I thought you had NC plates and drove an Expedition.
So your boast about the "big bonus" was actually referring to your own money that you paid to....yourself?
Christmas came early, alright, and SM is the gift that keeps on giving.
