Comment on The NSA story reinforces why an entity like WikiLeaks is importantparent

Comments

Absolutely. I'm completely on board with the concept of an organization acting as an information clearing house for leakers; I just feel that Wikileaks is the wrong organization to be doing the job.

Whether it's intentionally making releases dripping with spin or the inability to function internally (e.g., resulting in the destruction of the Citibank documents), it's clear to me that Wikileaks just isn't up to the job of serving as that sort of clearing house in a credible manner.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anyone else stepping up to the plate to take up that challenge at the moment.
