Jimmy Wales: “If I Had Some Information, The Last Thing I Would Do Is Send It To Wikileaks”

There is definitely some bad blood between Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales and Wikileaks , the controversial organization which posted thousands of pages of classified Iraqi War documents. On the Charlie Rose Show last night, towards the end of his interview, Wales says, "If I had some information, the last thing I would ever do with it is send it to Wiikileaks." He prefaced that remark by noting that he has "mixed feelings about Wikileaks." People with information about wrongdoing in open societies should have the opportunity to make that information public. " I think they should be slower in releasing things," he says. His concern is the way that Wikileaks chose to do that without regard for the safety of people "who are not the wrongdoers."
