For me it's not an underdog issue. Although on a purely humanistic level I can't but admire him. Assange could have done anything with his life. Clearly he is an extraordinarily intelligent person with an ability to execute, and a belief that the general populace is being shepherded in our thinking. I don't have a problem with that belief, nor do I have a problem with Julian putting everything on the line in an attempt to demonstrate, or at very least, test his belief. After all, the actual leak absolutely does not constitute a breach of national security. ONLY BECAUSE, if someone is prepared to deliver wikileaks the wholesale database, can you just imagine how many less scrupulous, security cleared people (remember there are 3 million of them), are profiteering from the very same data?
