thanks for your post. i am the author of t...David,<br /><br />thanks for your post. i am the author of the statement.<br /><br />i actually agree with you wholeheartedly. that is an ambiguity in the statement. it was my intention to see wikileaks as *establishing* a central pillar in the global fourth estate, but not as being identical with that fourth pillar. i neglected to mention that i consider alternative options, like OpenLeaks, and WL's Knight foundation proposal, as being parts of it also.<br /><br />i wanted to pick out what WL has institutionalized : the practice of providing an anonymous and secure route for leaking to the press - and to see this as a new addition, but also now an integral one - one that should be considered unremovable.<br /><br />for that reason i find myself completely in agreement with your points.<br /><br />many thanks for reading and posting!x7ohttp://wlcentral.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943005361647140893.post-4808606325047010922010-12-09T09:06:33.530-05:002010-12-09T09:06:33.530-05:00Nice piece, I agreeNice piece, I agreeAdminhttp://www.wikileaksforum.netnoreply@blogger.com
