> Why the hell would they release that Chinese informant info? That's crazy. That's nuts. That's against their own frigging goal of more openness in the world. They want publicity, and don't have a sense of judgment.

I agree completely with this sentiment. Anyone who argues with this statement might wonder to themselves whether it would be ok for someone to release documents implicating the person who leaked this trove to WikiLeaks - because it's the same thing - documents about an informant.
