re: #5 Alexzander
I agree with this argument; I’m not sure why Wikileaks is the singularly evil link in the chain, which is the impression one would get from the article by James Richardson. This Guardian followup is, I suppose, a way of acknowledging their partial responsibility in the event.
Because Wikileaks accepted and disseminated stolen information. I don’t consider that blameless. And the fact that the military should have had tighter controls on Manning (which I agree with) doesn’t change that.
