Wikileaks are for-hire mercenaries (Cryptome founder John Young)
- swombat 16y agoInteresting, but if that's true, why doesn't anyone leak some kind of documents proving it?
- iwr 16y agoThe claim is that Assage is selling some of the secret documents on the side instead of making them public. Is there some proof to that?
- AndyKelley 16y agoI think the claim is that Wikileaks is getting a crapton of publicity and hence donations and isn't really a non-profit organization, but in fact is designed to make the Wikileaks founders rich. I think the solution to this claim is obvious: Wikileaks's budget should be 100% transparent to everybody. Is it? I don't know where it is. If it turns up somewhere, then we can judge for ourselves whether it is a scam; if it is not available, then Wikileaks is a hypocritical organization and the claim is probably true.
