re: #94 Buck

wikileaks is not a newspaper. They might try and call themselves journalists, and pretend now that they have been caught that they are journalists, but they are not.

With a Free Press comes responsibility. Just try and publish copyrighted material just because you disagree with the owners POV.

Just for the record, Assange is a fully accredited journalist and has even received media prizes. Just saying. Btw documentation is a vital part of journalism.

Responsibility? WL ONLY publishes cables that have been vetted by the 5 newspapers they collaborate with. As a matter of fact the NYT publishes them BEFORE WL does. And sensitive names are edited out.

The material is not copyrighted. U.S. government papers are Public Domain.
