Given that Wikileaks entire MO is releasing private information...

  Finish the thought. Or start it with 'Given that Wikileaks released identifying info on every voter in Turkey...'.

    Apparently "beyond reproach" was the wrong wording above, but now I'm unable to edit it. That said, given how often "trustworthiness" is used as a mental shortcut for "believing anything they publish", it's still a knee-jerk worth fighting against. None of Wikileaks' released documents in their history have proven to be false, and so they are still reliable as a source.

      No argument there. But the response is typically not to what they publish, it's to the combination of the data and their added spin. It's not 'video from an already widely reported incident' it's 'Collateral murder'. And onwards.
