    lol - do you not realize that even though they are from embassies all over the world, they store them all in one central location?

    I agree that if we were talking about leaks from every American embassy separately it would be hard to believe.

    But anyway, you're totally wrong on this.

    • He is ACCUSSED of leaking SOME of the documents. You realize there is tonnes more right?Dodecahedron
    • He's accused of leaking all the cables though. Not just some of them.abettertomorrow
    • a central location for secret info is none existentDodecahedron
    • no to your statement about ALL of them. so wrong.Dodecahedron
    • *facepalmDodecahedron
    • Can we at least agree the cables were all leaked from one source?abettertomorrow
    • Because I never heard anything other than that in the context of this story.abettertomorrow
    • I disagree big time because there is NOT one source there are many, that is the purpose of wikileaks.Dodecahedron
    • They did not arrange the leaks from guy nor did they only release one sources info.Dodecahedron
    • They receive thousands of documents from all over the world and they are subsequently released is authenticatedDodecahedron
    • ...if authenticated.Dodecahedron
    • I think you are confusing the overall actions of Wikileaks, which does collect docs from all over the world, with the embassy cables, which are all from one source.abettertomorrow
    • embassy cables, which are all from one source.abettertomorrow
    • But the stuff in the Guardian article you linked above is all from a single source, or at least no one has ever suggested otherwise.abettertomorrow
    • otherwise.abettertomorrow
    • I think it shows how different our sources of info are honestly. I've never heard him accused of alllll the cables.Dodecahedron
    • I've never seen a specific suggestion it was only him acting alone. Show me otherwise.Dodecahedron
    • Even just with the cables. Specifically with the cables, I assumed it was various people with various access.Dodecahedron
    • Seems like basic logic to me, 250k cables that are all received around the same time.abettertomorrow
    • You're really suggesting it was 20k here, another 20k there, and THAT is what makes it suspicious?abettertomorrow
    • I've never heard anyone characterize it that way, and even though obviously Wikileaks is not going to reveal any details, Assange himself has referred to it was a single source.abettertomorrow
    • all the details, Assange himself has referred to it as a single source.abettertomorrow

    • I thought they were compiled. I don't understand how a video that was being buried from the freedom of information act in a prosecution over civilian murders was being held in a central serverDodecahedron
    • "Assange reiterates that he has never had any contact with Pfc Bradley Manning and therefore doesn't know that he is the leaker..."abettertomorrow
    • a prosecution against soldiers murdering civilians could be hosted on a central serverDodecahedron
    • leaker"abettertomorrow
    • Note THE LEAKER, singularabettertomorrow
    • it does not account for the totality of the situation either way. We're talking about multiple leakers in the full context because it is beyond the US cablesDodecahedron
    • context. It is beyond the US cables.Dodecahedron
