update: i mean: maybe they had to protect their sources? maybe they have the (naive?) idea that they only have to bring up "the truth" and "the truth" speaks for itself? for sure, there is a gap between them and the traditional media. and: who can you believe when in war?
They're clearly incapable of doing real investigative journalism, so they should stick to what they're good at. Just release all the facts and the media and let the world do the rest.
Without the hype no one would have seen the video. Have you seen all the other documents at Wikileaks or the stuff at criptome? It's hard to penetrate the 24 hour news cycle, they did an admirable job. Even if you didn't like their editing, you have to admit they got you to watch and think about all the people we've killed in Iraq, very few people have managed to do that in the 7 years of this bloody war.
this is my update from above, as i realized that was paul graham....
