Pretty disgusting how this entire press release amounts to political posturing and taking credit for the Arab Spring, with, what, one sentence about how terrible it is that names are now being released unredacted?
You can argue that Wikileaks isn't the one ultimately responsible for this, that it's the Guardian or the US government or whatever, but in their response they seem almost totally unconcerned with protecting individuals, and overwhelmingly concerned with getting credit for political revolutions.
- wnight 15y agoThis is like asking for spoilers for The Titanic. The news of the leak has only been the biggest single news event on the planet for the past eighteen months. If you suspect it to implicate you and you didn't already do your best to escape there isn't much that can be done. Remember though, that the USA shared more information with the worst of these dictators, till close to the end, than the leaked cables reveal in total. This whole FUD about Wikileaks killing whistleblowers is just a smokescreen. Our government still routinely drone-bombs more innocents weekly than have ever been suggested to be in danger, let alone dead, because of anything WikiLeaks has ever done.
