a) To inform the Dutch people about that event, was it necessary to publish the names of the Afghan informants and bring their lives in danger?
b) my previous question: did wikileaks read their own information before publishing it or not?
- if the answer is yes, then they brought the lives of those people in danger on purpose. Nobody in his sane mind believes they "forgot" to blot those names out before publishing or that they "were not aware of the possible danger" this could cause for the individuals involved;
- if the answer is no, then wikileaks' credibility is worth zero. No journalist worthy of the name journalist publishes stuff he hasn't checked and doublechecked for himself first.
