So then wikileaks doesn't bear the responsibility of shifting through the information and only releasing that which would not threaten the lives of Coalition forces and Afghan allies? If they have the right to publish classified material then they have the responsibility to make sure that the material in question doesn't endanger peoples lives, but no they don't assume any responsibility they just take huge loads of intelligence and dump them on the internet without going through them first. That is why an arrest warrant needs to be put out for this ****ing douchebag not because he released classified information but because he put lives in danger because his organization refused to conduct rigorous investigation into the material provided.
And WTF does this have to do with releasing the names of Afghan allies? If wikileaks had gone through a rigorous analysis of the data provided they could have kept information that endangered lives from getting to the public, but no they assumed no responsibility for the material and just took it all and dumped it on the internet. They are at the very least guilty of gross negligent endangerment and criminal negligence and if I was one of the names listed in the documents I would sue them for every penny that they have.
Yea he should of redacted the names of people who could be physically hurt.
He's doing that now with the rest of the 15000 documents.
The damage is already done to some degree.
The fact is that these people already put themselves in danger by becoming informants.
Should we also put the people who possibly lied to us in jail?
