Thanks to Google alerts, I've been able to keep my eye on the current Wikileaks debacle. I've become suspicious of these articles due to the repetitious nature of their content, almost as if some were cut and paste jobs assembled from a media talking point. One in particular a resent article by Kevin Poulsen and Kim Zetter, published on Monday, June 7, 2010 by Wired.com, titled US Intelligence Analyst Arrested in Wikileaks Video Probe.

The article depicts the arrest of SPC Bradley Manning, 22, of Potomac, Maryland in connection to the leak of a deadly 2007 U.S. Army helicopter air strike in Baghdad that claimed the lives of several innocent civilians two of which were children to wikileaks, a multi-jurisdictional public service web site, designed to protect whistle blowers, journalists and activists who have sensitive materials to communicate to the public. It further alleges Manning provided 260,000 State Department wires in the form of a csv (comma separated value file – a text document where the data is separated by commas, and is easily imported into an excel document or database)
