Comment on Bradley Manning’s Statementparent

Sigh. Actually, everything released in the first large dump of Manning's stuff was vetted by.... wait for it... the New York Times. Which newspaper, along with the Guardian and Der Spiegel, broke the story on July 25, 2010.

How quickly we forget.

Doesn't your Wiki link specifically mention that the media organizations did not release them wholesale?

"The Times has taken care not to publish information that would harm national security interests."

Seems pretty straightforward. "Vetted by" just means that the NYT had access to it beforehand, but they didn't publish it all, WikiLeaks did.
