Seymour Hersh is right. For various reasons, which I will explain in this thread, Wikileaks did more to keep the US safe than those failed institutions of the CIA, FBI, and the corporate media.

As @StateDept knows, the US will eventual fail if it’s reputation around the world as corrupt and duplicitous reaches a critical mass. Powerful as they are, the US needs allies and markets to survive. Like ‘fossil fuels’, they are vulnerable to popular and progressive opinion.
In this regard the US at times needs protection from its own worst self: rapacious and unchecked nationalism and capitalism. In the 1960s & 70s this check came from mainstream journalism. Today it comes from independent journos with info from insider sources. like #Wikileaks
