Wikileaks with their current staff can only release one cable per hour. They aren't purposely holding them - they are trying to get them out as soon as possible. If you would like to see more cables sooner the best thing you can do is make a donation. The more staff they hire - the more cables.

I was not aware this was the situation. Assange has stated before that they are withholding the cables and letting it out slowly because there is so much information. They want to stagger it so people can get the full impact and they are afraid that some of the material doesn't get the attention it might deserve. I also believe some of the news organisations like the guardian have already got all the material and are under strict instructions as what to release and when.
They are just after releasing a lot of information on Egypt. If there was not an uprising when would we have seen this material? Its attention seeking. They are making out they are part of the uprising. Thats fine. But they are playing games now.
Are they going to wait until there are tense situations in a particular country to release their info for maximum impact?
I think we need the all the info so we can start debating this properly.edit on 28-1-2011 by JohnySeagull because: (no reason given)edit on 28-1-2011 by JohnySeagull because: (no reason given)
