Journalists in Norway, Russia get WikiLeaks files

A Norwegian newspaper, Aftenposten, now claims to have the full cache of over 250,000 State Department cables originally obtained by WikiLeaks.

It's not clear how Aftenposten got the documents, which presumably were not provided directly from WikiLeaks.

"We have no comments on how we have gained access to the documents," Editorial Manager Ronny Ruud told The Cutline.

[...]

Meanwhile, WikiLeaks has partnered with Novaya Gazeta, a muckraking Russian newspaper that has sharply criticized the government over the years and became a Kremlin target in the process.

WikiLeaks is providing the newspaper — which is controlled by former leader Mikhail Gorbachev and billionaire Alexander Lebedev — with Russia-specific documents. (Lebedev, along with his son, owns several British newspapers.)

    Does this mean that American warmongers will finally stop whinging about Wikileaks being an agent of the ubiquitous "left"?
    Anyone who actually read the site before Fox got its panties in a knot knows that there is dirt on EVERY country of note on it.
