Don't be evil?

So that's basically "If you've nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear"? That makes me feel much more comfortable.

I'm glad to see that your support for Assange is based on the fact that he happened to be born in the same country as you. As for spin, if WikiLeaks has a purpose it's to expose hypocricy, not to release information simply because it's secret.

Assange

What an obnoxious little bubble of spittle Assange is. After all the high-minded waffle about how leaking confidential information serves a purpose he decides that he's not going to follow his own arguments and instead of making a huge chunk of information public he decides he's going to try and blackmail the US government with its release. If he wins, it stays secret and WikiLeaks is rendered pointless and if he releases it, all the claims about "careful filtering" of the data they release is proven to be nonsense.

To play fast and loose with this sort of information in order to massage your own ego is quite frankly revolting. I hope he ends up in a prison somewhere if only because he'd never be able to cope with the utter powerlessness he'd experience there.
