I am trying to figure out what all of this Wikileaks stuff is all about. Apparently its an "indiscriminate dump" according to the Washington Post's Dana Milbank. Read Glenn Greenwald on Joe Biden and the Wikileak dump:
Thursday, The New York Times, in its article on Assange's release from prison, re-printed the lie by referencing "Mr. Assange's role in the publication of some 250,000 American diplomatic documents" only to delete it without any indication of a correction in the final version of the article, while the always-conventional-wisdom-spouting Dana Milbank in The Washington Post -- in the course of condemning "the absurd secrecy of the Obama administration, in some ways worse than that of George W. Bush" -- today wrote of "Assange's indiscriminate dump of American government secrets over the last several months - with hardly a care for who might be hurt or what public good was served").
What is all the fuss about leaking and dumping?
