They have been following Bin Laden's trusted courier.

Following him for many months. The courier's identification revealed by those captured post 9-11

What if wikileaks would have disclosed the fact that the courier had been identified and had been followed for months? Then would that have been a 'cool' thing?

2. But they didn't. Your point?

[seabeyond]

3. true that. BUT wiki leaks didnt get any classified info, just gossip and diplomatic stuff that

is no ones business but not the hidden stuff.

though peeople argued all the hidden stuff should be seen cause nothing should be hidden

9. And you know this......how? n/t

[seabeyond]

10. you will have to be a bet more specific. i know what how? that wiki didnt get the top secret stuff?

that they just got the diplomatic cables of gossip and thoughts? that other duers think all should be visible and no hidden?

4. How do you know if Wikileaks DID have that info and sat on it?

The Wikileaks editors have said all along that they have held back on info that could cost lives.

6. See? That's what I mean

the entire operation could easily have hinged on the whims of someone in possession of the docs. At the mercy of a person's whim who is not answerable to anyone. Doesn't feel 'cool' to me.

8. Could of? Don't hurt yourself with this stretch.

5. WTF?

Nice try! The fact is that the Wikileaks release contained information that was designated classified. The meant that thousands of people would have had access to the info. Your silly proposition is that there was a possibility that the information on Osama Bin Laden's courier would have been designated merely "classified". That is complete nonsense and I think the vast majority of sane, rational, informed people will see it that way.

Cheers!

11. What if? You mean reality does not fit your argument but

an alternate one would? What if? That is just so daft.
