WikiLeaks says leaks are evil and will be punished

WikiLeaks opposes leaks - er - when done by its staff


"The confidentiality agreement says that unpublished documents leaked to the organization are 'valuable proprietary commercial information.'"

"The confidentiality agreement was a sign that WikiLeaks perceived itself as a commercial organization that intends to make a profit off the materials others leak to it. One suspects that the various brave and well-intentioned people who have provided the leaked information would be quite unaware of – and perhaps horrified by – the express commercial intentions of WikiLeaks, as evidenced by this document."
