The chief Wikileaker who the U.S. promised today to prosecute said his Internet site was just beginning to unload its diplomatic secrets and said the documents will skewer "lying, corrupt and murderous leadership from Bahrain to Brazil."
Julian Assange, the Australian who heads the secret-sharing Web site, told ABC News today he believes his safety and freedom are in danger. He responded to questions by email from a clandestine hideout.
He was undaunted by vows from the U.S. and Australia to prosecute him and said the forthcoming diplomatic cables are aimed at "lying, corrupt and murderous leadership from Bahrain to Brazil."
"We're only one thousandth of the way in and look at what has so far being revealed. There will be many more," he wrote defiantly.
Assange also dismissed a warning today by Secretary of State HillaryClinton who said the dump of secret documents "puts peoples lives in danger," particularly those sources who provided the U.S. with information about abuses in foreign countries.
"U.S. officials have for 50 years trotted out this line when they are afraid the public is going to see how they really behave," Assange said in his email. "The facts are that we wrote to the State Department asking for a list of any specific concerns that might have. They refused to assist, and said they demanded everything, including those documents that revealed abuses, be destroyed."

They have achieved the opportunity for a truly valuable DARWIN AWARD MOMENT.
This guy is a real whack job.
He’s got 50 years on us huh? Who appointed him Mr. Smarty Pants?
There are folks out there, including the scumbags in his own organization, that would / will give this guy up for a few $$$$$.
I think we need to make that investment.
I am hoping he will reveal that Obama is ineligible.
I remember people saying the same thing about Bin Ladin. Offer a ton of money and someone will give him up.
Hasn’t worked yet.
He has blood on his hands. Justice should be swift.

Seriously, how is this guy getting this info??
Lot of people should hang, including this dude (I love it when Rush calls him a waif who looks like he belongs in Peter Pan)
The DHS should pretend they link to torrents from their site and shut them down.
Well, no sh*t, Sherlock. What did you think was going to happen?
The King of the Fairies speaks!
From what has been reported, the main source is a disgruntled American soldier who is currently serving in a military prison.
But no one seems to know who that person is. Apparently he gave this information to Assange before going into prison.
There could be other sources as well. And I doubt Assange will ever give them up.
Anything on A or C-Z murderous leaderships?
They’re in Iceland. It’s still a different country. At least until the volcanoes all go off at once (there’s 135 of them), and some of our “stuff” could very well make that happen.
Interesting he’s talking with Abc...isn’t that Stepho’s beat?...who just loves Obama!...humm-mm.
Can’t someone put a bullet in this jackass?
I’ve got $5.00 on Mossad getting to him.
No it doesn't; you're still walking around Julian. Anything you would REALLY like to enlighten on??
