So the defense of WikiLeaks might be that placing these docs on the www is somehow different than physically publishing them in newspapers, ergo they should not be held liable for releasing the confidential docs? That would be a curious defense inasmuch as most would agree more people now rely on the www for information/news, as fewer and fewer people read newspapers.
From what I've heard, newspapers who published the WikiLeaks docs redacted sensitive info - names, etc...Sen Lieberman is way off base when he says these newspapers should be prosecuted. And listening to NYT's David Sanger yesterday, very little new info was gleaned from WikiLeaks release of these docs - that if their goal was to embarrass the US it probably didn't work as, according to Sanger, what was said in private was essentially the same as we were saying in public - minus the snarky comments about other pol leaders, of course.
