i'm sure they are very grateful for all the attention and paper sales he has provided them...
maybe they could dump out all the revelations in one go instead of drip feeding us? or just make the information public?
although to be fair - he has certainly shaped the year's news stories for a good reason. he has enlightened many who were previously naive.
- jokoon 13y agoThat's an actual leaking strategy: if you slowly release those documents, it will be talked about more, and more will be written about it. It also give more time to journalist to analyse it, and debate those documents, as it's not a simple to analyse...
- zmmmmm 13y agoIronically people rant on Manning for just "dumping" a whole lot of documents wholesale. But if you release them slowly people are cynical about that as well. To me it makes sense to do it slowly, apart from other considerations, to judge the effect, impact, ensure your actions aren't hurting people you don't intend, give opportunty for consultation with authorities if they want to come to the party and if it's appropriate. How would you propose it be done?
