That's what journalism is, alleging something. Adding the word alleged in front of what they are reporting is only meant to distract from the allegation without adding anything substantive. Of course it's alleged. All human discourse is alleged.

It's not journalism if it's based on "this anonymous guy said it's true so it's true". Wikileaks is journalism, not this.

Using Wikileaks, which probably uses anonymous sources more than anyone else, to prove that BBC is not real journalism for.. using anonymous source is great. Good job.

Wikileaks has never used quotes from anonymous sources as far as I know.
