This is possibly the most asinine thing I’ve ever seen done on a mainstream news site, tantamount to shooting yourself in the foot with a rusty nail gun. Here’s my choice quote, a perfect example of clueless hypocrisy: “There is clearly an ethical line here that we don’t want to cross, and the vast majority of these documents aren’t going to be published, at least by us. But a few of the documents have so much news value that we think it’s appropriate to publish them.” I’d hate to trust these guys to actually draw a straight line to save their lives (but at least their credibility - if any - is already forfeit and they’ve been severely outclassed.
