Name one thing Wikileaks has posted that isn’t true, please, for citation on your claim.

Their own tweets about what they're going to release and their actual actions, their own characterization of the information, their choices not to release some information.

I also really don't think it is a difficult concept to understand that when choosing what to release and what you don't release you can greatly influence what is "true".

Let's say I was a military organization and I released some information that I killed 12 terrorists.... but I didn't say that I killed 200 civilians doing so. I could use your same argument "point out something I said that wasn't true"... but obviously I wasn't telling the whole story.
