John Young, a former member of the Wikileaks advisory board has some interesting things to say about wikileaks. He left the organization in 2007.

"A few weeks later, in January 2007, John Young, a member of the Wikileaks advisory board and the founder of cryptome.org, an online depot for leaked documents, corporate rumours and government conspiracies, left Wikileaks, accusing the group of being a CIA conduit. After the split, he published over 150 pages of emails sent by members of Wikileaks on cryptome.org."
"John Young has changed his opinion about Wikileaks. He is now supportive of its work, though has reservations about the project's "self-promotional aspect, and its secrecy, its love of authoritativeness, which are likely due to its being run by those trained in journalism wherein advertising and privileged access to information, and magnification of its importance, are taken to be essential to marketing success."
Young's main gripe is the anonymity of the site's operators, which he describes as leaving the group open to "being co-opted by spies. It is common spy tradecraft to do that, as in journalism, media, education, churches, government and so on."
