tokenadult, that is a loaded expectation that Wikileaks is disempowered from fulfilling, since they simply publish what is received after anonymizing and verifying where possible.

In fact, back in 2009, Assange told me personally he was surprised not to have received more information from China.



Have they published the leak of Ecuador's surveillance system plans yet? [1]

Admittedly the documents keep getting pulled but apparently they are available on DocumentCloud still.

But I just checked the Ecuador page at WikiLeaks [2] and have yet to see anything. Maybe they just need more time to authenticate the contents? Although then again, Ecuador itself seems to have authenticated it [3].

On that note, Ecuador's page at WikiLeaks seems pretty sparse after 2009 or so. I guess there have been any major secrecy scandals since then in Ecuador?

Why would he be surprised? For all this talk of the jeopardy Snowden is in, we forget that in China a policeman can send you to prison without trial, and that executions are so common they send round mobile vans to perform them.
