It's unfortunate that they're unredacted, but doesn't it seem like it would be against Wikileaks' purpose to cherry pick information to release? I mean I thought they were supposed to be about "information freedom", not pushing their own agenda.
It also means that they do cherry pick because they have to prioritize what leaks they will check and release first.
They've got 250,000 cables. A small team is going to take a long time to check 250,000 cables.
No doubt they do keyword searches of the cables to find the juicy ones and release those first, but, what you gonna do... release the boring, mundane stuff first? No one would pay attention to you.
