Bronner and Aljazeera leaks

"The NYT, and sadly Neil Mac, outdoes itself by burying and then trying in the headline and pull to diminish the  authenticity of the major leak.The problem in their construction is that THEIR PARTNER IN THE WIKILEAKS DISCLOUSURES, THE GUARDIAN, ALSO put out the docs in partnership, worked to authenticate etc.  “…Al Jazeera did not say how it had gotten hold of the documents, and State Department officials on Sunday would not comment on them, cautioning that they could not vouch for the documents’ authenticity.”  Well they could just go to the Guardian’s website and READ ABOUT how this new leak went down and the efforts to authenticate – which appear solid."  (thanks Nicholas)
