Which begs the question: how familiar are you with Assange? Aside from reading articles that try to characterize him, have you read any of his writings or listened to his talks? Have you met him? What basis are you using to judge his character? I personally am under the impression that he has given much more thought to his policies for releasing information and organizing Wikileaks than you give him credit for.
