Antidote101, you sound like former CIA head and Trump’s state secretary Mike Pompeo, who in 2017 redefined WikiLeaks as a ‘non-state hostile intelligence service, often abetted by state actors like Russia’, before he got the CIA to draw up secret plans to have him kidnapped or killed.
The Biden administration is continuing Trump’s war on journalism with this persecution.

Wikileaks isn’t a journalistic publication. They’re a private intelligence agency… And when you work in that arena you have to understand the limits and players very well…
…and yes, intelligence agencies plan and conduct kidnappings and all sorts of resolution to problems. In the west, they do so with the parameters of defined laws and norms. Elsewhere people aren’t so protected.
