Is WikiLeaks a TPTB front?

No, I think you are wrong.

Wikileaks are doing the one thing no one else has the balls to do: take the Pentagon and the MIC to task over their mistakes.

Yes, you are right.

Second line confirming that I think you are right.

Well i saw the video on youtube, when it first came out, because like many of ATS members i already knew they were releasing it, and here in Portugal the media only showed it one day later.
What i think is that either they are controlled / manipulated by TPTB to get credibility, or they are actually facing them, with more guts that many of us would have.
My point is, we are wasting posts wondering this, in stead of actually researching about Wikileaks members' names and past, do or did they have any conection with CIA, Pentagon, etc?
