From a bystanders position, and being a fan of both the beeb and the guardian I am probably not getting the whole story; but it does seem from a reading of the popular press in the UK that Wikileaks, or possibly more accurately Julian Assange, has gone a little over the top and is now losing friends even amongst the western liberal press

 

Anger as Wikileaks releases all US cables unredacted

 

Wikileaks' media partners have strongly criticised the whistleblower group's decision to release its entire archive of US cables uncensored. Wikleaks says all 251,287 of the leaked diplomatic cables are now online in a searchable format. It comes amid a row between Wikileaks and the Guardian newspaper over who was behind the earlier release of thousands of unredacted cables. The papers said they were "united in condemning" the uncensored release.
