You could call him an anarchist nerd publishing whatever low-level diplomatic snippets fall through the cracks, but surely, the things that are truly classified won't fall through the cracks to the likes of him. This is the internet: you can publish content anonymously without extraordinary effort. Assanage simply provides a microphone. If he'd been a little less paranoid, he'd have made an amazing journalist.
