Wikileaks Redactions Are Cowardly: "Wikileaks should stop the redactions of names in the diplomatic cables and war files and release untampered documents.
Name redactions are immensely deceptive -- like knee-jerk claiming there are valid grounds for some vital secrets -- they are used to hold hostages under guise of protection. Continue to obey or your name will be revealed. Redact or you will be pilloried in public. (Toot: The New York Times tried the 'responsible redaction' scam on Cryptome with the CIA Mossadeq overthrow report.)
Dozens, perhaps hundreds of people are being put at risk by believing they are protected by the phony redaction scam Wikileaks has cowardly joined under pressure to conform to authoritative demands to be 'responsible.' Far better to tell the truth that the names are already loose so the victims know what the cabal of secretkeepers knows."
