Their raison d'être is transparency, but publicising an internal memo doesn't magically turn it into a press release. It is clearly structured and written for WikiLeaks affiliated staff to use when discussing the film, anything else is a bonus.
- mpyne 13y agoCorrection: Their raison d'être used to be transparency. They are certainly willing now to hold onto documents that do not advance their own political agenda. Likewise the memo is sitting on a public folder on wikileaks.org, I'm pretty sure Assange or his troops could hack together a private intranet if that was what was actually desired here. This is a PR release that is just as transparent as when the U.S. "leaks" positive news to the NYT.
