Some other hackers including the Jester have speculated that Assange created WikiLeaks as a way to use the information he got from hacking in order to blackmail those he stole the information from. He may have been spying for himself, or maybe, working for someone like Soros as some have speculated. I think the blackmail idea has credibility although in his early emails and writings, it may just be ideological. His parents were communists and he has written often about wanting to take down the US.
Nonsense. If he was “spying” (these AREN’T top secret documents btw) for Soros, he would have not releaesed the damning informtion on the government cover-up in climategate. Our political masters, including Sarah Obama and Barak Palin, are sincere in their mutual hatred of Wikileaks for the unforgivable crime of ripping the facade off our corrupt system.
The best we can hope for is that he is made Persona non grata in the US and a hundred other nations.
