Citation for suspicion? Is this a joke?
A reference to who is suspicious and why is deadly serious.

Source?
Wikileaks withheld a batch of emails showing a $2.2 billion transaction between the Syrian regime and a Russian government-owned bank, according to a Daily Dot report. If true, the report will likely have a lasting negative impact on Wikileaks’ credibility. The report alleges that the transparency organization betrayed its own core values of “pristine leaking,” and did so in a way that protects Russia’s public image.…
So its a speculation by a forth-party. Why is this small news paper from Texas, 4,343 rank on alexa, credible for the claim that Wikileaks got everything in the backups but hiding parts of it? For example, do those 500 pages include any details to give the story validity that Daily Dot even got documents from "the hackers"?

I love the cognitive dissonance needed to ignore the 'court case has shown' but and instead find the need to attack a source based on its Alexa rating, ignoring the other sources who reported the same story. It's exemplary of most Wikileaks supporters I've found.
Oddly enough, they never question why Assange, after bragging about his intention to dump 'kompromat' on Putin in November 2011, suddenly changed his mind in doing so and then signed a tv deal with Russian state media 2 months later. It surely didn't have anything to do with the death threats Russian intelligence issued against Wikileaks, nor with Assange's meeting with Putin in December 2011.

I was expecting something more damning. But I guess they could have published the info, and the reason they didn't is not very convincing. It suggests they are more after the publicity than after a reputation of publishing anything and everything.
From the description, it sounds like they got that opposition research doc that every other media organization had and which most of them said they didn't publish because they weren't able to validate it.
What from the description do you think described that document?

You are the one apparently smoking something. It is common knowledge that China uses prisoners as a way to mass harvest organs. http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/23/asia/china-organ-harvesting/
I am not going to contest that, but nothing has came out to support the claim of "systematic organ harvesting in tibet". I work with surgeons who specialise in liver transplant and you usually want to position donors as close to recipients as you could to minimise transport delay, and Tibet is just too far away from where the.demand is.
You are partly right, the real ethnic group targeted for organ harvesting is Falun Gung practitioners. I have met many of them in Fremont area who had personal experiences to tell. Tibetians and Ughyurs are also targeted but for mostly low end stuff such as blood plasma or organs for experimentation.

Name calling is such a quality sign...
All the other sources wrote attributed the claims to Daily Dot. If they have independent verification of the hacker data we would have multiple independent claims and it would be a different matter. As it stand, it is only a single small news site from Texas that is staking their reputation behind this claim.

Falun Gong is not an ethnic group, and a lot of their stories don't stand up to scrutiny.
Organ harvesting from prisoners still happen, but the extent has been greatly exaggerated.

> "it’s a variety of documents from different types of institutions that are associated with the election campaign, some quite unexpected angles, some quite interesting, some even entertaining"
The fact that it was 'associated with the election campaign' and 'entertaining' made me feel it was there. I don't remember seeing other docs that satisfied both criteria, but it is only a guess and I could be wrong.

I agree. Why is anyone holding a site meant for whistleblowing and leaking of confidential information and the website of a newspaper to the same standard? Apples and oranges, IMO: It's not really fair to get mad at an orange for not giving you apple juice. >Therefore, for WikiLeaks to become highly partisan is a radical departure from their original mission; moreover, it has happened without WikiLeaks acknowledging…
Well, there is that whole thing about their founder being illegally indefinitely detained and denied due process. There are no MRI machines in that embassy.
> being illegally indefinitely detained and denied due process
This is a mischaracterisation. If Assange wanted due process, he could leave the embassy and face the British (and then possibly Swedish) court systems. The only person choosing to arbitrarily detain Assange without due process is himself.

honest question: does wikileaks not have necessary connections in China to collect the intel and stuff?
Honest answer AFAIK: I met Julian back in 1997 in Australia at the security conference that launched his and Suelette Dreyfus' book about the history of the Melbourne hacker scene, Underground . I met him again at HAR2009 in the Netherlands. He was very interested in the fact that I had been living in China for nearly 10 years and confided that he was really surprised after Wikileaks launched not to have received Chi…
