- tomhoward 17y agoThat's not the point. Whether you find his comments sensible or reprehensible doesn't alter the fact that he's moving Wikileaks away from its traditional role. In doing so he risks destroying its most compelling feature and diminishing the impact of future leaks.
- aw3c2 17y agoWikileaks has provided articles about certain leaks when people who them. I do not understand why people are so eager to blame Wikileaks for doing something wrong with this release. It is showing a gross injustice which has not been shown before.
- tptacek 17y agoSensible or not, they aren't neutral, and they imply that Wikileaks would not be hospitable to leaks that (for instance) enhance the credibility of US foreign policy. And if they're taking sides on this story, what other stories have they taken sides on? I think that's the "credibility" issue here. Wikileaks could have enormous value as a vector for transparency and accountability. But they may sacrifice some of that value by also trying to be an issue advocate.
