John Burns described his meeting with Assange “in a noisy Ethiopian restaurant in London’s rundown Paddington district”, where “he pitches his voice barely above a whisper to foil the Western intelligence agencies he fears” — yet accompanied by a retinue of groupies.
Supporting the African restaurant was Haile Selassie of him.
“If they are looking for Julian Assange, they should look for Gordon Ramsey with malaria”, Dennis Miller.
Sigh.
Men get groupies.
Women get stalkers…
I guess he’s never heard of the “shotgun microphone” or the “bug on your clothing”.
Whispers aren’t going to stop a serious intelligence agency.
Fortunately for Assange, it’s actually pretty unlikely that any of them give a damn about him. He’s not actually, well, important.
Kathy, don’t despair, there is little difference between the two.
Was he wearing a tin hat? I’m ambivalent about this guy. He’s being hounded by the usual “celebrity” lawyers like Conrad Blacks or even Jackson with all the hangers on.Ive come to the conclusion anyone the media goes after is being set up, it happened so many times it can’t be coincidence even if I believed in the concept. The left hate, him for showing up what they have been doing to Israel.
The Islamic war on the World.
Personally him off loading military sources while at war condemns him in my eyes. At the same time he’s done us a favor with the diplomatic cables.
The fact people may have died over the military dump shows the emotional shallowness of his character. That is the only jail-able offense that should be used. The so called rapes or condom abuse, is another matter. Not unimportant , but treason is the road to travel with the courts to get him.
If governments want to pretend transparency than actually do it. Otherwise this is only the beginning, because there will be many more of this guys mentality to follow.

Smart point, but not entirely true.
Women just take it less seriously because their always getting the come on it seems to me.
Men on the other hand take Women who follow them very seriously. Frankly because it is unusual.
Oh yeah great articles latley, haven’t replied to any because the comments section won’t work anymore with this new system.

“Women just take it less seriously because their always getting the come on it seems to me.”
Wow, that is the least accurate description of MY personal 47 years on earth, ever! 😉
Double sigh!
You really want a groupie or groupies Kathy??
Unfortunately Assange doesnt have a name like Michael Stipe of REM. His acolytes were known as “distipeles”….
This article sums up my suspicions about the guy. But as we discussed on another thread his behaviour is less important than the surprising pass he gets given by his ideological soulmates.
I would have more respect for him if he took on the Chinese or the russians. But he loves life too much.
I think you need to read the attached. This relates to the core of the “business model” that is Wikileaks.

Now would someone who develops this type of sophisticated infrastructure be one who would “whisper” to foil Western Intelligence Agencies?
I guess the proper question is “what is going on here?” Do you need to think this situation through or is it more important that someone else does your thinking for you?
