Man who leaked video depicting US military murdering civilians is arrested

Man who leaked US military video depicting the military murdering Reuters journalists to Wikileaks is arrested (video commonly referred to as 'Collateral Murder; see video here: http://bit.ly/bZx8rK).

As an Economist article (http://bit.ly/cm3aGA) explains: "The case is a reminder that Wikileaks is only as robust as the humans who use it."

The Economist article goes into wonderful detail about the protection methods Wikileaks utilizes to protect those who leak documents to their website.

The man was not arrested because of a failure of Wikileaks' privacy protection methods, but rather, because he boasted about leaking the information and was subsequently ratted out. See more about Wikileaks here: http://bit.ly/92OP9Z)
