We have the same issue here. A BBC journalist just contacted me, can I
have an email from a spokesperson from UK?<br>

the news offices are utterly frustrated that there is no real person in
Wikileaks or Anonymous to ask since that is there traditional method to
work. They will therefore look for any credible source such as PP to
ask and I they could mention that Wesley is a source from PP rather
then from Wikileaks or Anonymous. There is a risk to take when you
express opinions in public and I am sure that Wesley is aware of this,
but the press that PPNL gets when they say something is probably worth
it considering how hard it is for PP's to be seen through old style
media. I think it's worth the risks to be visible in the media..

didn't mean to bring critisism to a specific news-channel at all.<br>
But the point is that if you appear as a "spokesperson" at all,<br>
anywhere, on bahalf of Wikileaks - you immediately become a target.<br>
Internationally.<br>
<br>
I would definetly not take that kind of initiative on bahalf on some<br>
other person. That is a question of personal integrity (one of our<br>
core values) and for the same reason we don't publish or make<br>
available the names of our members or any other person.<br>
<br>
If Wikileaks spokes-persons needs to talk to media, I'm 100% sure they<br>
will be able to do that. In this case its media who has the urge to<br>
fish for a scope.<br>
