We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

but even when he was unnamed, the Guardian had piles of hard evidence to back up the 2012 Pentagon stories.

I guess to me, the difference between publishing some documents [1][2] or slides [3] as per your example with The Guardian isn't that different (again, for me) as implicitly saying "the source(s) is/are legit" if whoever's publishing the information has a track record of being trustworthy regarding factuality since I can't necessarily verify the authenticity of that evidence anyway.
