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.
P.S If Assange wanted to work in the media, or even create his own media company... He really should have, and could have. But that's not the industry he chose. He chose to work in intelligence.
Now you sound even more like bigshot Mike. Are you him perchance? Was it your intention for the indictment to be littered with the words 'publish', 'published', 'publishing', 'public', 'publicly', 'publication'; 'disseminate', 'dissemination', 'redactions', 'redacting', 'redacted'?
