Why should other members be anonymous? Isn't that hypocritical since Wikileaks is all about transparency?

  It's also all about protecting whistle blowers. They've put a lot of thought into ways of covering the tracks of people who come to them to keep them safe - I don't think it's hypocritical. They're concerned for their safety, not their politics.

    Ironically, Clinton expressed similar concerns about Wikileaks exposing people who speak privately to diplomats.

      They asked the US gov to redact any sensitive sources. They didn't get any help. http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/08/20/wikileaks http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/08/20...

        Possibly because that would tell Wikileaks what they thought was sensitive.
