WikiLeaks will Not be abandoned.

We need organizations that are true watchdogs of the government. Governments should be made uncomfortable by the press.<p>However, WikiLeaks lost me when they released selectively edited video, spliced in editorial overlays, registered a domain name "CollateralMurder" and advocated a position.

Is there some background on this I should know about?

Pentagon declared Wikileaks as a threat to national security.<p>I we look at The Apache helicopter and Australian internet plans leaks, the government was trying to do something wrong, which Wikileaks exposed. Now they have been declared threat to national security. Great progress in hypocrisy.

Has anyone noticed a pattern yet? We get a sensational rumor. Then we get a flat denial. Over and over.<p>Someone trying to cast doubt on their viability in hopes of getting people to stop funding them?
