re: #316 Aceofwhat?

yes. a more well-reasoned opinion, too.

Ellsberg’s take is so leaky that even he sees the gaping holes in his patchwork.

Ellsberg: While generally praising Assange, Ellsberg said Assange should have done a better job in his initial document releases of redacting names of people and sources…
Ellsberg: Ellsberg acknowledged that the government needs to keep some secrets…

This is what we call ‘tripping over one’s intellectual feet’.

although i didn’t realize until just now that Charles had already posted that WSJ article as a main thread topic here…i apologize for the duplication.

Regardless of what Ellsberg thinks could have been done better he states:
“Anybody who believes Julian Assange can be distinguished from The New York Times … is on a fool’s errand,” Ellsberg said.

I dont agree with all of what Ellsberg says or of what wikileaks did, however I do agree with Ellsberg on this.
I fail to see how wikileaks is any different to the NYT with its leaks.
