>>>would make him very circumspect about doing stuff that could endanger either his reputation or the reputation of wikileaks.<<< Exactly. He is just too smart and just too obsessed about the cause to do something as stupid as that. Let's assume he did it once in a fit of mental incapacitation under the pressure, but then he walks out and does it again a few days later in another town? Even the average wannabe Criminal Joe would lie low for a while unless he was on a Bonnie-&-Clyde-esque rampage, which is a bit of a stretch to imagine with him. I am willing to bet that he has been through far worse strain in the process of fighting against the Australian govt. for his son (see: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/06/07/100607fa_fact_khatchadourian?currentPage=all http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/06/07/100607fa_fact_...). It's unlikely that this would be the straw that broke the camel's back. Distantly possible, yes. Likely. No.
