That's the thing, Wikileaks did not filter endangering information, they filtered information that they THOUGHT was endangering. That is a big difference. If they filtered ONE classified document, then you could have a point, but these are hundreds(thousands if I'm not mistaken) of classified information. That in itself is endangering. Besides, I've stated in every thread that they released CPOF reports on Wiki-leaks. There's no way you could filter that information out and have anything worth mentioning.
I'm sure you'll disagree with wik-leaks on what is considered endangering information, but that still doesn't make wiki-leaks any different then any of the other news outlets that release these documents.
Given the fact that they released tons of classified information, I'm pretty sure that they just don't care about endangering the U.S. It's classified for a reason, so unless you actually know the reason why it's classified, then you can't effectively filter it to remove endangering information because you don't even know what is classified and why to begin with. So their opinion has no value.
There is a difference, you all just don't want to acknowledge the difference in order to support your point. The hacker is working with ONE known person, that person is wiki-leaks. ABC, FOX,CNN, etc. do not have a partnership with this hacker, Wiki-leaks does. If the hacker gave this information to Wiki-leaks and they kept the information to themselves, then all of the attention would be on the hacker, but that isn't the case. Wikileaks, released the information to the public. Once the public knows about the information, you talking about it is no different than ABC, FOX, CNN, etc talking about it.
You are blatantly making up a false relationship that doesn't exist to make a point. The two are different, hence the reason why people are attacking wiki-leaks and not the media.
Do you honestly not see the difference from a source that releases the information to the public versus people talking about the information released by someone else?
Weren't you the ones complaining about how you should know EVERYTHING and now you're implying that talking about pre-released information is equivalent to releasing classified information to the mass public.
