I can understand the whole 'openleaks' idea to protect themselves along with the source in 'different' ways, however the whole bradley manning thing was his own undoing. A guy he contacted gave him up, not wikileaks.
Hell, he may have been only responsible for releasing the helicopter vid. Who knows - all speculation at this point.
I would rather see wikileaks grow stronger rather than lose some key players who want to start their own spinoff. According to the press, they are coming up with a method of whistle-blowing & leaking information with full protection and anonymity. I doubt that will ever happen. Most people who partake in such things shoot themselves in the foot (i.e. bradley manning).
