Julian Assange Pans WikiLeaks Movie

Posted by timothy on from the his-hair-looks-nothing-like-that dept.

As reported by news.com.au, Julian Assange has seen leaked copies of the script of an upcoming film depicting WikiLeaks, and blasts it as inaccurate propaganda. He says, among other things, "They tried to frame Iran as having an active nuclear weapons program. Then they try to frame WikiLeaks as the reason why that's not known to the public now." Says the article: "Assange declined to say where he got the script, although he hinted that he had been supplied with several copies of it over time. He also declined to say whether the script would be posted to the WikiLeaks website, saying only that "we are examining options closely.'"

    ... We caught Bin Laden DESPITE using torture, not BECAUSE of it.

    And you KNOW this how?

    Are you sure they weren't doing the well known, "good cop, bad cop"? I do not think the order of torture, then bribery is random at all. The torturing effects how someone responds to bribery later. There really is no in spite of. It's just the status quo.

    Bradley committed a crime a really bad crime. It was treason. You can't have committed in the military. He should absolutely spend the rest of his life in jail.

    Assange's Wikileaks activity was perfectly legal and he should be left alone for that. I have no idea if he committed a crime in Sweden, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he did. He talks like a narcissistic sociopath.
