Carsten Wiethoff Wrote:German minister of economics, Brüderle, has said the following words, probably in an effort to criticize Wikileaks:
"Manches, was ich bei WikiLeaks da entnehme, erinnert mich an die Sammelwut, die früher Institutionen im Osten hatten, die Stasi dabei."
(Something that I gather from Wikileaks reminds me to the collection rage that institutions in the east had, Stasi included.)
The cables were indeed collected by the US State Department, not by Wikileaks.

What makes you think that is a criticism of Wikileaks, then?
