As much as I dislike not knowing something, I'd rather pass on it than put millions of people at risk for some only moderately useful (or even interesting) information. Millions of dollars is no longer a very large amount when our debt is 5-6 digits higher than that. If it were tens of billions, I might see the usefulness of this information IN THE PROPER CHANNELS, with details that completely compromise our national security structure left out for the general public.
Telling EVERYONE all of our weakpoints when we are the world's number one superpower is absurd, and the best way to quickly and destructively remove us from that. Isn't that the very definition of traitorous?
he raises a good point however, how do you expect to be informed as an american, without having U.S.' enemies be informed too? at what point information is "sensitive"? according to the US, all information he's revealed so far is sensitive, that's what got him in trouble in the first place
