No matter what you think of Wikileaks

Julian Assange is an asshole.

He is not Wikileaks. He is not the whistle-blower that he pretends to be.

That does not mean that Whistle-blowing is a 'bad thing".

Julian Assange is an asshole. Which means he is NOT representative of Whistle blowers.

Julian Assange is an asshole. So the opposition will use him to paint the rest of Whistleblowers as Assange wannabes.

Personally, I think that Assange likes the attention and has manufactured a BFD where there wasn't one just to delay his extradition.

Assange has certainly shined a spotlight on the rampant idiocy within and tangent to government bodies.

If we don't watch out, this OP will suck our energy and bend our perception of time. My time posting this is a minute and a half I will never see again.
