What other things? Is it possible this is a case of seeing what you want to see due to preconceived notions? I ask because none of his comments in the interview read that way to me. And even in your recent quote, you changed some wording (inadvertently?) that takes the focus off the entities Wikileaks exposes.Originally Posted by Marlin
"They" being the organizations with the concealed materials, who, by the way I read it, sound as if they're more interested in maintaining the status quo.Actual quote: Assange - "The aim of Wikileaks is to achieve just reform around the world, and do it through the mechanism of transparency. Of course, many groups have that aim, but our particular view on the mechanism of transparency is to selectively go after material that is concealed, because organizations that have material and are concealing it are giving off a signal that they believe that they will be reformed if that material is released.
It's THAT very kind of reality in reporting Wikileaks seems to want to offer. No spin.
The context of the articles seems more to say that the info he receives from others comes from sources that are either gagged from reporting the info, or who fear retaliation where "officially" established avenues don't offer as much protection as they say.
