Why I will not analyze the new WikiLeaks data

The question is: is it more trustworthy than your particular government? How will we know without Wikileaks to tell us when they're lying?

I don't think that's the question. No one is always trustworthy. You hope to approximate the truth from multiple sources, and the diversity of agendas and perspectives provides the best prism to look through.

Corroboration, in other words.

From that perspective I simply see Wikileaks as just another diverse agenda and perspective. We still have to approximate the truth.
