Where is the evidence that this document is valid? It may be, but it could just as easily be forged.

I personally wouldn't take at face value anything written by Kevin Poulsen regarding Wikileaks:

Exactly. It's probably just more FUD to discredit WikiLeaks.
I'd love to know how you progressed from "possibly" to "probably" there.
And once again (I'm going to start keeping track!), we don't want to believe something is true, so we invent a controversy to avoid grappling with its implications. Go us!
Presumably in his opinion it is likely, hence the "probably". Mystery solved.
Given Assange's track record of reactions to leaks within WikiLeaks, it would not be surprising at all if this is authentic: http://harmful.cat-v.org/journalism/wikileaks
