Is the Wikileaks guy a hypocrite or a real "truth crusader"?

There is "hypocrisy" everywhere in this world and though also otherwise. Revealed or unrevealed in smaller scales as that. Only that Wikileaks did it on a very large scale that affected very much important informations that should be kept in its respective privacies as well.

What was discovered became very questionable, and at the same time the act of uncovering the confidentials of others became just a sort of trespassing either.

But then, what is its real purpose? When it seems obviously enough having its own schemes too.

Some could fear so much others's propagandas while building their own so desperately i.e.,

As insanity makes this world more pathetic it seems while being delusioned that it could be turning out to be as IF it's noble?

This we hope will get cleared over, sooner and later..!

Yes, he's a real truth crusader.

There's enough about his supposed rape of two aging Swedish groupies on the net that you can make up your own mind. He's actually the one who has been raped, because he's had his reputation raped by Anna Ardin and Sophia Wilén in the media.

Read Naomi Wolf's brilliant articles below... and check out Katrin Axelsson of Women Against Rape.

I agree with your condemnation of the motto "do as I say, not as I do". Yet he's been accused of rape by two women who did not realize it until they talked to each other several days later. Then a Swedish politician Claes Borgstrom got into the act and now Assange has an International Arrest Warrant when he's only wanted for questioning! He offered to talk to the Swedish Authorities several times, they have refused...

After serious investigation with an open mind, if you conclude like me that he's being persecuted, then his attempts to protect himself and his refusal to be quietly arrested by the powerful become understandable, even natural.

If there were such a thing as a free and open democracy then there would be no need for Wikileeks.

It is the duty of journalism to keep the politicians honest by publishing things that they would rather keep secret.

For example the dictator Mubarek has used American supplied teargas, and bullets against his own people. Do you think the USA should be in the business of HYPOCRTICICALLY supplying dictators with the means to suppress their people? If we beleive in democracy then we should think it is okay for others to have it too. DO you think you ought to have a right to know what your government is doing in your name?

I can't see why you might think Assange is a hypocrite - maybe you should look the word up.

Freedom of the press is the life blood of democracy.

He's a narcissistic egomaniac, and probably a sociopath as well.

We can all agree that transparency in government, in principle, is a good thing. I think we can also all agree that the extremist, unchecked approach to creating that transparency (like Wikileaks often does) when the results of that approach can place the lives people (and the families of those people) who are taking tremendous risks to battle forces like the Taliban or Al Quiada at risk is patently unethical and immoral.

Julian Assange (sp?) doesn't give a crap about innocent people or people doing heroic things covertly in support of basic human rights getting killed because he reveals their identities to the world.

Maybe you need to listen to the interview again, his answer was pretty clear, and I'm sure you weren't really listening.

point well made, but I don't suppose he is hypocrite or a truth crusader. he's a journalist.

Do we know if there is truth to "either" story.

I think it depends on his power of intelligence. He is what he is.
