Posted: 12/30/2010 6:13:52 PM By: David Marchant See story headlined 'Many Arab officials have close CIA links: Assange' at http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/qatar/137385-many-arab-officials-have-close-cia-links-assange-.html
In this story, Julian Assange is essentially trying to blackmail the authorities into not prosecuting him by threatening to release information that, without any doubt, places other peoples' lives at risk.
The only life he appears to care about is his own.
After dealing with him directly and reading his various comments in the media, it is clear to me that this guy is a major a-hole.

Particularly telling to me was the part: "It is true that at the beginning of August, I cut off contact with him in order to protest at several things he had done -- the first time I have cut off a source in 34 years as a reporter."

No doubt, he would have been threatening to leak the names of spies working for the Allied Forces, leaking documents about troop numbers and movements, the date of the Invasion of Normandy, etc. Anything, apparently, for publicity and fame/infamy.
