hummmm.... must be a traitor ...

Today Larry Flynt, the founder of American sex magazine Hustler, announced that he would give $50,000 (£32,000) to the Assange defence fund, calling him a "hero" who deserved a "ticker-tape parade". Flynt's support was not for WikiLeaks itself, but because he thought the rape charges a nonsense.
Assange has been called "the new Jason Bourne" by Jemima Khan, the "Ned Kelly of the Cyber Age" by members of the press in his native Australia and a libertine 007 by those who note his fondness for martinis.
On the other side, Republican US senators have lined up behind the Democrat secretary of state Hillary Clinton to condemn him. Sarah Palin claims that he is "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands" that America should pursue "with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaida and Taliban leaders." George Packer of the New Yorker magazine, called Assange "megalomaniacal" and Vanity Fair's Christopher Hitchens called him "a middle man and peddler who resents the civilisation that nurtured him". There have been disturbing calls from both Republicans and Democrats for him to be assassinated.

BTW, for those that actually took the time to read ( or least glance ) the cables, very few have to do with US actions...
In fact , they are :
- Cables written by US staff in US embassies ( or Cia Offioces )
- Mostly giving opinions on this, evaluaion on that ...
- relating facts , suspicions or opinions on this country, this ;eader of thgis country, and so on ...
Recent releases :
- WikiLeaks cables: UN offered Robert Mugabe a lucrative retirement overseas
- US embassy cables: Zanu-PF like 'a troop of baboons incessantly fighting'
- .. and so on on Haiti, Kurzistan, Fuckistan, etc ....
