WikiLeaks publishes names of sources

Since Wikileaks first began releasing diplomatic cables, the organization has been seen as a threat by the U.S. government and foreign officials. WikiLeaks recently published more than 134,000 diplomatic cables, but unlike previous “document dumps,” WikiLeaks published the information themselves rather than working with established media partners like The New York Times  and The Guardian. Previously, WikiLeaks would turn over documents to its media partners, which would study and redact the information before releasing it to the public. This time, WikiLeaks chose to release the documents without removing the names of diplomatic sources and other contacts. Heather Brooke, an award-winning writer and journalist, whose new book, “Assange Agonistes,”  is available on Kindle Single e-book, has been following the story.
