Medvedev: Wikileaks 'Positive,' 'Healthy'

http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/8012750-medvedev-wikileaks-positive-healthy

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev tried to reassure world business leaders by insisting that Russia remains a good place for investment and that the country is dedicated to global engagement. He said that no country was immune to terrorism and that the recent airport terror could have taken place anywhere in the world. Medvedev also said that Russia is weary of being lectured about democracy.

Afterward, Medvedev was asked a question which likely caught him off guard. He was asked what his response would be if wikileaks released secret Russian documents damaging to the government. He said that wikileaks releases could have a positive impact on international relations. "At the end of the day, I believe this WikiLeaks story should make the spirit of international relations healthier even if, in itself, this was an illegal activity," he said. "The impact of the story for international relations is quite positive."

Medvedev said that the wikileaks releases of US diplomatic cables -- which branded Russia "a mafia state -- did not shock him. "From my perspective, from what I read concerning Russia from the materials which found their way to WikiLeaks, there has been nothing new to me in it," he said, smiling. "I got the sense that most assessments that found their way to WikiLeaks concerning Russia were taken from the general political sites on the Internet."


Intersting thing Medvedev said: general political sites on the Internet

I have not analyzed this but I have a feeling I wouldn't need to.....How much of the US information that was released, was similar information (to that available on the Web)? If it is similar information: Why is it classified here in America? It is ridiculous. More secrecy.

I am sure Medvedev thinks before he speaks. He said what he said for a reason if even what was meant was Russia hides it's dirty laundry better better than America does. Damn. Slam either way. Such is the world and some that are fools in it and Medvedev is not the fool either... Lol.
