Some very 'spot on' observations in this Inkspots post, one minor quibble aside (I do not agree that the Iraq War was an unjust undertaking).
Well worth the read. Short version:
1. Evidence suggests that Wikileaks might have cherry picked the original docu-dump from Manning looking only for incidents that make the U.S. and our forces look like the bad guys.
2. Wikileaks, despite their grandstanding, is not the final arbiter of truth because:
a. they do not provide documents from the other actors in Iraq.
b. the documents they do provide are in themselves incomplete or first reports, fuller
information about each incident exists, and Brave Sir Julian is not going to get the
privilege of seeing them.
and the most obvious point..
c. Wikileaks is not unbiased.
Uh....Yeah. "Collateral Murder"?
