Town Talk

A forum for Princeton residents to express opinions about local and national issues

Question of the Week:

“What are your thoughts about the recent developments concerning WikiLeaks?”

 

“It’s a little scary. There have always been secrets and things that people don’t speak about. Diplomacy is taken for granted and that’s how nations relate to each other and this bypasses it and lets things be known that we don’t want known.”

Yvonne Szaferman, Princeton


“It gives you a sense of what’s going on behind closed doors; it’s actually not that harmful for the U.S. government. It seems that they are doing what they say they are doing.”

Yair Mintzker, Princeton


“I think the biggest issue is putting the troops at risk. I’m in favor of more transparency in the government. More information that is less classified should be made available to the public.”

Alec Monaghan, Princeton

 

“They think in terms of national security and everything isn’t national security.”

John Gale, Princeton


“I think it’s treason to the United States; it’s horrible.”

Amy Lerner, West Windsor


“It seems that it shouldn’t have happened at all.”

Victoria Scheirer, Princeton
