There are private information in these, too, as people plead for jobs in emails TO ruling party members, etc. But most are NOTHINGBURGER.

Wikileaks defense is "they did not publish". People they worked with on this "leak" put them up & WL repeatedly advertised it to millions.

And no, this is not some old leak being reheated, the one from 2009. This is new, and contains much more dangerous information on people.

But Wikileaks blocked me. I pointed out Turkey's leading anti-censorship activists, lawyers condemned this "leak."https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/757732765349638145 …
