Obscuring sources is consistent with WikiLeaks' stated goals. Assange still refers to Manning as an "alleged" source despite there being very little doubt on his involvement in earlier leaks.

Nobody has suggested that the 2016 leaks are false. The veracity of the information is far more important than the source that acquired it.

Inexcusable. Assange's lies and slander of a murder victim were nothing but a disgusting attempt to try and hide his work with Russian intelligence to destabilize American democracy.

An additional thought: So you favor exposing American intelligence operations but hiding Russia's? You support Russian intelligence attacks on America?

I hope you're not an American. This country deserves better.

I don’t favor hiding Russia’s intelligence operations.

I favor pitting States against each other this way to the extent that the information revealed is true and verifiable.

And I support WikiLeaks’ model more generally, of offering to expose verifiable information while keeping the source secret regardless of who that source is.
