Don't mean to beleaguer this point adnauseum, but the article above mentions..."Wikileaks gave the material to the New York Times, the British newspaper the Guardian and the German magazine Der Spiegel several weeks ago on the condition that they not be published before Sunday night, when the group released them publicly." The article now appearing under the same link doesn't mention other news agencies at all, and goes a long way to downplay the whole situation. (i.e.,"Most of these documents are several years old and may well reflect situations and conditions and circumstances that have either been corrected already or are in the process of being corrected," Crowley said. "Some of the documents talked about a conflict that was underresourced and that was a fundamental element of the strategy review overseen by the president.")
