While neither supporting nor condemning the legality of publicizing confidential information, The Zeitgeist Movement seeks to address the issues brought to light via the numerous, previously classified media released through the WikiLeaks organization.
Would there any way the Zeitgeist Movement could be more cowardly?

Nice vid - thanks.
Not heard of these guys before.

@Brutha, I don't think they're being cowardly, I just think that it's not what they're there on that video to discuss. Haven't read their stuff to find out if they do have a view of that outwith the subject matter of the video.

Without knowing the "movement" it's hard to have an informed opinion about them.

The zeitgeist movement is attempting to challenge the entire social economic system we currently live in to bring about an evolution in the system we live in to benefit all of humanity and end centuries of suffering brought about by the current monetary system.

The fact that you focus on a single statement inside the video, which is subject to personal interpretation, which is not even the main topic they are discussing and call them cowardice is sad. Perhaps you can focus on the positive objective aspects of what they are doing rather than projecting your ideas onto their statements.

Anyway CoolBee check out the new film by the zeitgeist movement YouTube - ZEITGEIST: MOVING FORWARD | OFFICIAL RELEASE | 2011
it's incredibly interesting!

They doing a pretty poor job at it if they aren't willing to commit to concrete steps.
Pretending that you can simply get rid of a system of organisation without providing a proposal for an alternative system of organisation is dangerous.

In addition to providing no real political agenda the Zeitgeist movement also discourages political attempts to change the system from within.

If the produces of those videos would get political power they would probably have the same result that China had with it's "Great Leap Forward".
Giant projects will fail because of a bunch of little constraints that exist and that won't simply disappear.
