That's because Wikileaks "endangers lives" of those who endanger lives of others and that's against the position of US nationalists. And WMF is dominantly US organization. But, it's good to see that WMF went into the position when it has to do things more actively. BTW, we should organize at least email protest, by sending emails to US ambassadors in our countries. I'll send it today. If necessary, we should demonstrate in front of US embassies, as well. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
