Journalists will often try making a distinction between their outlets and WikiLeaks, which, some say, is more of a clearinghouse for documents or perhaps a middleman between a source and news organizations. They may point out that their news organizations put raw material in context, call for comment, and weigh the government’s concerns over publishing sensitive material.
But whatever journalists may think, the prosecutor in Manning’s case sees no difference between a source’s relationship with a major newspaper and with WikiLeaks.
