Reminds me of an old political joke, "They framed a guilty man!"
Conspiracies and poor behavior are not mutually exclusive.
I know how much you want to believe, but wanting to believe is not going to make it so. At the end of the day, Wikileaks has to be about more than personalities if it is going to succeed, conspiracies or not.
Put differently, you can only frame a person who has made himself the image of the organization. Wikileaks should have never allowed Assange in this position.
So fix the error and move on. No harm, no foul. The only damage to Wikileaks occurs if they sit around and do nothing except for form a circular firing squad.
- dsplittgerber 16y agoIn today's media environment you probably need a singular spokesperson as a front for interviews etc. You won't get the same amount of attention by just being an anonymous "hivemind". Also, it's very interesting how the media has turned on wikileaks in the recent past. It's not about how many Pakistanis or Afghans the CIA drones are killing per day, it's about whether wikileaks endangers any sources.
