The west, specifically the United States, promotes "Freedom" more than any other value with the possible exception of "Capitalism." However, all organizations, the U.S.government included, tend to preserve themselves before any value, when they come in conflict. To me, that seems to be the most troubling revelation in how the U.S. conducts foreign affairs as disclosed by the recently released diplomatic cables by Wikileaks. They often put the security of their own government organization ahead of the well-being of its citizens.
