Wikileaks does not want to have editorial control over what they see as relevant or important, and what they see as irrelevant. This is good because journalists are the ones that should be responsible for "verify[ing] and corroborat[ing] information" before presenting it to the public. You can go to many different news sites and see many different editorial perspectives on what of the Wikileaks leaks are important. This way the consumer of information can avoid the inherent weakness that only one editorial perspective would provide.
