Why WikiLeaks is like the NSA WikiLeaks -- in republishing the stolen Sony data as they have -- of course is using the same reasoning popularized by NSA. NSA assumes (correctly) that within the massive bulk of metadata of U.S. telephone calls they will find *something* of intelligence value. So they collected it all, using those tidbits as the justification. This is precisely the kind of twisted and irresponsible logic that Assange and WikiLeaks are using, only on the data dump side instead of the data collection side.
