Why all the publicity 2
Made a point of watching the Big Deal From Wikileaks. No big deal. Assange rambled on about maybe starting to publish something at some point in the future, if he feels like it. The only halfway interesting aspect was that Firefox decided to stop carrying all the live feeds, while IE continued carrying. I didn't think browsers were 'publishers' or 'networks', but apparently FF, the Browser For Cool Tolerant People Who Fire Their Boss For Having Uncool Opinions, is now a 'publisher'.
Wikileaks is acting more and more like a standard intel agency. CIA, NSA, GCHQ. Need to know. Stovepipes. Methods and sources. Maybe they have reasons for this, but it's a long way from their stated mission "We open governments."
Later: People are correctly accusing WL of bait-n-switch tactics, and WL is responding with wiggly Clintonian word-tricks. Making things worse.
