Tweet Narcissistic WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange explains the role of WikiLeaks over the course of several interviews. In my opinion, the accidental deaths caused by the US military & others pale in comparison to the amount put on the line by these leaks.   I would highly doubt the 65 percent of you who said he was a hero for free speech in the last poll would want the general public to read all your emails and mail and publish it for the world to see. Much less ones that involve not just US but world security in general. If he doesn’t get convicted of his rape charges, he better find a place to hide. Maybe he can shack up with Osama....
