I am ambivalent about Assange, but I sure as hell hate the mainstream media trickery and games, so this was great to watch! This is how everyone should handle the assclowns on CNN, Fox, and all the horseshit propaganda stations.

I'm here after reading wikileaks latest stratfor leak thumbs up if you are too!

[DjGopher0]

He should have walked out. He warned her, he told her he would not answer.

As I'm here by skimming through the recent leak, I'd like to cite the statements of Sean Noonan. This video does NOT "just show how far his head is up his ass," in fact it shows how understanding he was willing to be on the issue. He knows that this is about something bigger than himself and refused to be the center of it.

Thumbs up if you think he was right to leave.

...like any organization, but especially one releasing, often times irresponsibly, confidential information, the integrity of its leader is paramount. Regardless of what you think, half of America sees assange/wikileaks as a national threat. And with Assange making unilateral decisions without a proper review committee behind him is, frankly, one reasons he ended up in the trouble he has. So say what you want, there are many of us who think this made him look foolish.

by 2:00 he had given a perfectly good answer and explained the whole situation. why go back? stupidest interview I have ever seen. You have one of the most interesting and controversial individuals in the world sitting across from you and you do this? fuck me CNN this was the best you had?

@evilsnakes1 Assange did not walk out because of criticism. The base for your comparison is garbage.

@itsazy

I am simply pointing out that what you have said is contradictory: Assange walks out because of a little criticism and you cheer, yet you play the devil's advocate with me, making completely unsubstantiated claims about my learning. You mockingly call me "strong"? Seriously? I'm not the one who walked out in a huff. I simply pointed out the inconstancy in your argument. It's really quite amusing that you keep going down this path.

@evilsnakes1 Look at you - still trying to deflect the argument on to poor old you receiving a little criticism. Strong. It seems you in fact /don't/ know what Julian was there for after all, or perhaps you don't even care.
