WikiLeaks Insiders Resign

Americano writes "Wired reports that at least six WikiLeaks insiders, including Daniel Domscheit-Berg, WikiLeaks' spokesman in Germany, have resigned in the past few weeks. Those who have spoken with Wired cite differences and disputes with Julian Assange, and his autocratic leadership style, as the motivation for their departure. From the article: 'Key members of WikiLeaks were angered to learn last month that Assange had secretly provided media outlets with embargoed access to the vast database, under an arrangement similar to the one WikiLeaks made with three newspapers that released documents from the Afghanistan war in July. WikiLeaks is set to release the Iraq trove on Oct. 18, according to ex-staffers — far too early, in the view of some of them, to properly redact the names of US collaborators and informants in Iraq.'"

What a coincidence

No, the idea is that Assange has suddenly become intolerably narcissistic at just the same time as big players want to discredit him.

You mean, the same way as he suddenly also became a rapist, also around the same time ?~
I've also heard that some anonymous source have given both the press and the Swedish justice irrefutable proofs that Assange is, in fact, an Evil Pedo-Terrorist Pirate !~

(and in completely unrelated random news, Adobe is selling Photoshop-license to three-lettered US agencies like hot cakes).
