If a friend tells me a secret, I am honor bound to keep it. If that friend wants to tell others, it is their decision, not mine. Furthermore, if I divulge a secret, the friend would be justified in being angry, feeling betrayed and in distrusting me.
All of this is especially true if I spilled the beans after an argument.
The "declassifying" (release) of the information regarding the Israeli nuclear program smacks of school yard antics and is a sad commentary on our direction as a country.
Who would have ever thought we'd be aligning ourselves with the Iranians and alienating the Israelis?
