Remember this is the same guy that brought attention to the climategate fiasco. And I think we are better off for that. While I don't agree to name spies or endanger people, I do like to think we have investigative journalists and whistle blowers with a public medium.

With the increasing "dumbing down" of the the media content produced for our consumption, and many people too lazy or apathetic to actually ascertain the facts for themselves (despite claiming to have a solution or considered view of events) people like Julian Assange are essential to protecting the transpancy and integrity of information that surround the events that shape our world. Too few people give substantial amounts of their time to stand up for issues to create real lasting change. Good on you Mr Assange.

Mr Wikileaks has some serious mental issues.
Because he believes all information should be made public, there should be a website setup somewhere to publish all this guys personal information, his families personal information and a tracking device put on him so people know exactly where he is so they can personally thank him.(not)

i've read and seen a few interviews now with Julian, and must say I think he is doing a great job in getting this information out for all to see.
