Wikileaks-why are people so shocked?
The only thing that i am shocked about is the fact that this information which is kept secret has been made public. But as for the information itself, it is not that shocking at all. For example; Vladimir Putin is Batman and Dimitry Medvedev is Robin, (That to me is not shocking, we all knew that was the case). Arab countries wanted Iran to be bombed (Again, not so shocking, it was quite clear a shia Iran would be bad for Sunni nations). A member of the royal family was behaving inappropriately (nothing knew as far as i'm concerned, Prince harry has dressed like a Nazi, gets insanely drunk and Prince Charles is always saying inappropriate things). Libyan dictator has a hot female nurse who escorts him (Again, many dictators tend to have sex slaves). China waged cyber warfare against the internet (kind of knew that anyway). North Korea sold highly advanced missiles to Iran (North Korea has been giving nuclear and missile technology to Syria, Iran all the time, this is not surprising at all). The release of this information is to be condemned as it is private property, and illegal to release such information. But as for the information itself, i am not shocked by any of it, just the fact that it's been made public. Your thoughts and views?

The embarrassment is that know the diplomats are known to have said it. Its like you might get the idea that someone doesn't like you, but hearing them say they hate you is still a bit of a shock.

Some people will be embarrassed by the information. They thought that the things that happened and the things said would not be made public. Too bad for them. You are right, the only thing shocking is that some of the truth got aired. The people need to know what is going on to make informed decisions for how the country is ran. It is too bad that some might be embarrassed. To prevent that, they need know that they will be held accountable and the people have the right to know (unless it really falls into the domain of national security and no persons potential embarrassment fits that criteria).
