Personally, I think the various governments have a lot of egg on their faces. The private who leaked these has to be prosecuted for the crimes he committed but it *does* seem to be a bit like a "whistleblower" here.

Who did more damage? The private who leaked the information or Clinton for telling our diplomats to spy on the U.N. (just to pick an easy-to-understand example)?
