[Foundation-l] Sue Gardener, Wikipedia's leading editor - wikileaks

[Ziko van Dijk]

Funny, These lines remind us that a lot of the "intelligence" work is
nothing more than reading the newspaper. No much real "leaking", one
might say.

Obviously, those writers love the word "leading" to make their readers
understand the importance of the news. :-)

Isn't it a problem in the English language that "editor" usually means
a person who is publishing, like the editor (publisher?) of a
newspaper?

Kind regards
Ziko
