We have to have leadership and we have to have government and there is going to be corruption. That's life. Does he think we can get rid of the corrupt leaders and replace them with perfect ones? There are no perfect leaders! And there is no perfect government or perfect country. All this guy is doing is creating havoc. In the end he will not have accomplished anything productive at all. He is as destructive as he claims others are. I will enjoy seeing this self-righteous, holier than thou, meddling do-gooder get his comeuppance.
Wikileaks is not just posting info about the US.
If you read only US media, it would see that is the case, but it is not.
They appear to have the goods on a lot of world political leaders and transnational organizations.
I’m not sure he knows what he want’s to do, besides create chaos. Something seems off with him, he does not seem normal. While he has the computer skills he does not come off as the smartest person as to how these leaks will change how government works. If anything his actions would cause governments and other organizations to make it even harder to access information.
The only common thread that goes through anything that Assange writes (and he has produced some drooling, raving “manifestos” a la Unabomber) is that he hates the US and loves the UN. Very little negative information has actually been released on Obama, who also hates the US and loves the UN, and in fact the UN itself has been very protected.
For some reason, people who claim themselves to be anti-government or anarchists are always big world government people (via the UN), and that’s what Assange is.
