Leak master hypocritical

Sun., Dec. 12, 2010

The coward Julian Assange of WikiLeaks makes himself as the people’s protector by leaking confidential property belonging to others. And if governments try to bring him to justice, he threatens to leak even more confidential and embarrassing information.

In essence, he wants the power to hold others accountable for their actions but refuses to allow them to hold him accountable for his actions. He’s nothing but a hypocrite. If Assange really believed in transparency, he would release all of WikiLeaks’ internal documents for our review.
