Wikileaks edits its releases to avoid harming human sources of intel, sir. Put away your strawman.

Trusting wikileaks to do this reliably is about as sensible as trusting governments to only keep secrets when strictly necessary. Both sound excessively trusting.
That's why they work with journalists, relevant experts and, when possible, the governments involved to filter out sensitive names. They seem to be doing the best they can, and so far they haven't been called out on it.
