Don't shoot the messenger R1. I think they will make interesting reading.

I just asked that question here, a sudden heart attack, a fall down the stairs.

How does this guy manage to get hold of these suppose confidential documents?

Wouldn't like to bets on it, but he believes there is at least a US Government-led smear campaign targeted at him:

Davethedog, "How does this guy manage to get hold of these suppose confidential documents?"

He doesn't, he is just the "face" of WikiLeaks, it is important that those doing the real work don't really have faces. Although:

///The Guardian says it was given the contents of more than 250,000 leaked cables on a memory stick. US officials believe a 23-year-old soldier, Bradley Manning, was the source of the leak.///

It should be also noted that the confidentiality of these cables were not "top secret" and it has been suggested about 2 millions people would have easy and regular access to them.

All the best,

How long before Jimmy Wales has an "accident" at the hands of someone who doesn't know the difference between Wikipedia and Wikileaks?

They'll be someone to take his place no doubt.

It makes you wonder why Britain has not had its computers broken into and confidential information disclosed. It seems to happen regularly when it comes to financial matters but not it seems when it involves foreign policy.
