Wikileaks leaks documentary script about Wikileaks
Wikileaks has released a transcript of a documentary about its history so it can add notes to each section saying “Wrong!”, a day before the film debuts.
The secret-spilling site has taken umbrage with We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks, which is set to debut in New York and Los Angeles today and released a transcript of the documentary online yesterday.
The annotated transcript, which can be found on the Justice4Assange website, comes with an introductory note claiming that the documentary is “filled with errors and speculation”.
“The stock footage used has been heavily edited, in some places distorting what was said,” the note said. “This is unprofessional and irresponsible in light of ongoing legal proceedings. It trivialises serious issues.”
