[QUOTE="worlock77"]- Wikileaks didn't realase any information that put anyone in any danger. Simply having personal information public does not endanger someone in and of itself. Someone's identity being concealed because that knowledge being public could endanger them is entirely different.
- So you think it's fair that he or his family might now be put in danger just because he decided to write a book?

a) They've released information as to the addresses etc of people affiliated with controversial groups associated with violence and such. So yes they did. BNP is one. Lets not mince words here and just forgo the usual BS and agree to disagree I guess?b) Hell yes. He is part of that family. He decides to write a book on a very high profile event that was essentially an assassination? If he has decided that it was worth putting his family in danger over some money then why does the rest of the world need to pick up the slack? No one here is saying that we hope his family gets hurts. All any few are saying is that this is a consenquence. A rational one. A common sense one. A consenquence a damn ex seal should understand. That anyone writing anything on this not as a proposed fanfic but as an actual the dealer of death would garner great efforts to find who they were? Especially as outside the goverment channels and solely through the private sector ones?
A: And were these protected identities? Does associating with the British National Party somehow entitle one to anonymity? Is one's life endanger by associating with the BNP?
B: So do you feel that the federal witness protection program should publically release the assumed name and current whereabouts of former FBI agent Joseph Pistone, a.k.a. "Donnie Brasco" (you may have read his book or, more likely, seen the movie with Johnny Depp and Al Pachino)?
