It's a bit irresponsible I have to admit.
I think this situations like this is where real journalism (the skilled, impartial, dedicated, virtuous kind, which unfortunately we don't see) should come in... in their work, journalists can get access to sensitive information, but they now how to responsibly manage the information so they can tell the public an important story while minimizing sacrifices in security. If only there was dedicated investigative journalism and not the horseshit we see on the news now, then we wouldn't have to rely on wikileaks for transparency.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
