Of course they want to discuss things with WL. The WL guys must know, though, what the Pentagon version of discussion means. That never bode well.
I hope Assange is just playing with them. Well, he's smarter than I am. Publish and be damned, as we always used to say.
Thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people had access to these files before WL got them. Nothing was redacted in them then. If anyone has been irresponsible about the identities of informants named in those documents, it is the U.S. military. They learned nothing from Viet Nam; they are still incompetent and sloppy, and their professed concern for their allies in Afghanistan is all bluster and cover.
