Leaky wicks

Wikileaks is done. Whatever (whoever) caused the leak has killed this platform, and now there is a kind of purgy flavor in the air. If you are one of the informers involved in "Cablegate", your career is over. But then, you shouldn't be working for State Department anyway - you are much too trusting. But don't worry: A few years behind bars will set you straight. Just ask the holy fool of this story, Bradley Manning.

Assange and Domscheid-Berg had a good (and very important) thing going, and then it all turned to shit. It is quite probable that one of them is right and the other one is wrong, or that this was just can honest mistake (something that, believe it or not, even a bona fide genius is subject to), but from the distance, this looks like a pissing contest where two men came up short.
