Harvard Prof Testifies Fallout of Manning Leak Damaged Wikileaks Image

Legal Insurrection "A Harvard law professor testified Wednesday in the court martial of Bradley Manning that the Army private’s leak of hundreds of thousands of classified materials changed how Wikileaks was viewed by government and media outlets."
....
"But former media partners of Wikileaks that were instrumental in publishing selective portions of those materials later abandoned Julian Assange and his organization over his handling of the information leaked by Manning.

"In 2011, against the warnings of collaborative media outlets, Wikileaks published over 1,000 of the US State Department cables that contained the names of individual activists who had been sources for the US government, placing those individuals in potential danger and chilling the environment for future leakers and whistleblowers."
