Still moAR on the leak

Nothing happens just like that, without purpose. Including a massive intel leak. Whether most of the readers would say Well, Duh, is irrelevant. The ones for whose eyes it was addressed have surely seen it.

May I propose a well played-out scheme?

- Major terror attack hits the US.
- The public is scared.
- President uses the situation of fear to push his internal and external agenda. Internal: curb civil rights for the sake of more security. External: find convenient excuses for two geostrategic, but unwinnable, wars.
- Yep, you heard me. The external one includes war.
- The war gets messy.
- Said administration covers most of it up, but it's a shitty job and in some time it all starts leaking.
- The public is appalled, but the president is already gone, and moreover the war is in a new stage so their rage is irrelevant (first Meh moment)
- An economic crisis diverts the attention from that issue (second Meh moment).
- Elections for a new administration, the public is fed up with the previous one and the pendulum swings from right to left.
- There's a new president, i.e. a new scapegoat to look for (third Meh moment).
- But the level of fear is down, so something should be done to maintain it.
- Major intel leaks start coming up, reminding of the ugly war.
- "The terrorists will surely hate us again and they'll try to attack us a second time."
- The public is already all Meh, and their conclusion is: "Oh whatever, let'em [the new administration] do their thing to protect us. The previous internal and external agenda remains untouched.
- New elections come, the pendulum swings from left to right.
- Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Where's WikiLeaks in all this? They believe they've done a good deed. Good for them.
