Assange now tries to gain sympathy. Thus the 'free speech' twist he gives to his game. He has good speech writer writing for him... He sees public opinion chnages against him. As a result he dresses his game on a 'free speech', weak against the powerful'. His biggest fear is public opinion being against him. He will be chased and no one would care. This is an where ideologies are dead. When ideologies were alive, one could raise and would be embraced by some ideology. Not today. He claims to hold some incriminating cables that can be published to protect himself. There are too many brains plotting agaisnt him. He will not stand a chance. People protected Rushdie for being chased ny the Moolahs for wroting "The Satanic Verses". Public opinion liked Philip Agee disclosing the inner workings of the CIA. The public liked the Pentagon Papers. That was against a unpopular war. Public now are thinking with their stomachs. not may sympathy will come to Assange.

When I count the threats against me, Julian Assange and Wikileaks appear to me to be on my side. Badgers, birds, Mq and Julian quite like freedom and we do not mean freedom to move in the cage of constraints imposed by those who love power, opm, and being bossy, more than life itself. China is supposed to be the evil-doer going crazy on censorship and here's the so-called "free" world doing what they whine about China doing. Wikileaks people are providing information that is both interesting to the public and also in the public interest to know. Not only do the rulers and surprisingly most of the commentators seem to think Julian Assange and co are evil-doers, but they are adopting Taleban-style murderous Islamic Jihad "hunt them down and kill them" style. Those who are happy if Julian is hunted down and assassinated in the street [none of that boring old trial stuff needed] should hopefully not whine when their opponents hunt THEM down and murder THEM in the street for saying and doing things that Islamic Jihadists dislike. And the Interpol Major Red Alert doesn't pass the laugh test. It appears that a couple of prostitutes have laid some false complaint as part of a set-up. Mqurice

Sounding here like mainstream press do not care for him rocking the boat either :O)
