You do realize that The Guardian is one of the news agencies that has every single cable, and is also one of the news agencies responsible for actually releasing the information to the public...right?

The cables are just as easily searchable and well organized through them as it is through this app. So just because the app can ONLY display you the cables and not the score of yesterday's big rugby match, it's suddenly bad?

This is actually an accurate reflection of the whole Wikileaks thing in general...Wikileaks didn't "steal" any of this information, one or more people did. Yet, the witch hunt has been focused almost solely on Wikileaks, with little attention paid to the person who actually did the "stealing".
