> "For an organisation supposedly devoted to human rights, the apparent lack of concern when faced with such a grave charge was overwhelming." I've had this sense about Wikileaks for quite a while, now. They present themselves as an intelligence agency for the people, devoted to human rights. But they don't conduct themselves like an intelligence agency; they're sloppy and careless, with few safeguards in place. They also don't focus well on human rights; they drum up more publicity for US diplomatic cables than, for example, Chinese dissidents. They talk about the importance of openness, going so far as to expose the names of informants in foreign countries, but try to keep their own internal information secret. I love the idea of Wikileaks, but the implementation sucks.
