The difference is that wikileaks is actually doing it's job of being a watchdog on governments.
I actually find it kind of ironic that it takes an outside news type organization to be the watchdog against our government when our own news media does not do so...even though our FF's expected it of them. I guess that shows that all our news media really cares about is the $$'s and not the truth.
Since the war on terror began, more information than ever before has been labeled as classified. U.S. media outlets are rightfully concerned about being sued/prosecuted for releasing information on governmental abuses.
I don't think that's a scenario that is good for the American public.
