Media Watchdog Joins Chorus Criticizing WikiLeaks : NPR

Media Watchdog Joins Chorus Criticizing WikiLeaks : NPR
Reporters Without Borders criticized WikiLeaks on Thursday, saying the whistleblower group showed "incredible irresponsibility" in publishing thousands of secret Afghan war documents.
The international media watchdog said that while WikiLeaks had often played a useful role, revealing the identity of Afghan informants was "highly dangerous."
The disclosure also has angered the Pentagon, which has accused WikiLeaks of endangering the lives of soldiers and informants in the field, and demanded that WikiLeaks refrain from publishing any more secret data.
On Thursday, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange acknowledged that some of the criticisms leveled at his group were legitimate. But he also said many were parroting the Pentagon's attacks instead of focusing on the content of the reports themselves.
