Even worse then! Why should an organization trying to leak as much about anyone they can and matters be above their own standards and mantras? If "True information does good." well then who knows what this and the other leaks were good for.
I do not see wikileaks as any more trustworthy or "better" or "more ethical" than the authorities they are acting against - yes, AGAINST, read Assange's book, he has an agenda and it might not be as altruistic and do-good as most people like to believe.

Um.. let's see... last I checked, Wikileaks hadn't tortured any prisoners, invaded any countries, or murdered countless civilians. So, yeah, I'd count them as just a tad more ethical than the scumbags they're releasing dirt on.
Every country gets the government they deserve (and vote).
But what makes you think Assange and his gang would make better decisions given they were in the exact same situation? Power corrupts and wikileaks certainly demonstrated on several occasions just how incredibly powerful they are or can be.
I am from Europe so this might be a bit different "over there" but what I was trying to say was: I do not trust WikiLeaks and Assange or question them more or less than I trust and question my government and I certainly do not see Assange's understanding of and longing for anarchy (see his book) as an appropriate replacement of our current governments. Do you?
I don't care about whether Wikileaks suffers leaks or not. I am a little sick of the 'ironic' spin. By this point, it's about ironic as Alanis Morrissette's 'Ironic'.
