Besides, Assange took a great deal of care. The MSM might not tell you this, but Wikileaks were not the first people to release unredacted files with the names of informants. When it became clear to Assange that there was a problem in this regard, the first thing he did was to contact American officials to warn them. The Americans know this, they actively helped him try to arrange security for those at risk. It's interesting what comes out at court, and even more interesting when someone is actually reporting it sincerely.
