> he doesn't practice what he preaches. He preaches government transparency. He's not a government. So how can he practice what he preaches? The same happens every day with journalists who fight for media transparency. Should they also be transparent with every aspect of their lives? Of course not. And you suggest he should be transparent with his sources. If you seriously believe that, you're clearly not in favour o…

"And you suggest he should be transparent with his sources. " Reread the grandparent's comment. He's not saying Wikileaks should reveal it's sources but that it should release its source material. As opposed to editorialize. As opposed to becoming yet another dishonest filter of information.

They do. They released Collateral Murder, for instance, in an edited for TV spot and they released the full-length clip so that anyone who cared could check their accuracy.

I did. I'm satisfied. It might not be perfect but it's far better than anything I see on TV.

"Castro, and Mandela" Mandela and Castro are murderers. Why are they even included on your list?

Wait, what? Mandela is not a murderer. It's kind of difficult to qualify Castro of being a murderer with so much certainty. You have got to be a troll.

If you apply the same conspiracy law that would be applied to you and I to Castro I'm pretty sure he's legally responsible - by our standards - for tens of thousands of deaths.

Tanks roll and bombs fall on his command and if those weren't all criminals - duly convicted by a court - his orders to use those weapons is murder.

But yeah, he's certainly not Idi Amin.
