Part 2: www.youtube.com THE NEW WIKILEAKS IP = 213.251.145.96 July 2010 The controversial website WikiLeaks collects and posts highly classified documents and video. Founder Julian Assange, who’s reportedly being sought for questioning by US authorities, talks to TED’s Chris Anderson about how the site operates, what it has accomplished — and what drives him. The interview includes graphic footage of a recent US airstrike in Baghdad.

Of course wikileaks could’ve been knocked down right at the beginning but wouldn’t have served to get info out
Your’e a hero Assange!
We need a lot more people like this who are willing to tell the truth.
Assange is a brave man to agree to be the face of wikileaks. Just hope they keep him safe and protected until he is released. If he had any kind of dark history what so ever they would have chosen a different person to be the face the organisation.. remember that when you’re reading the next story about the skeletons in his closet.
Hhehehe =) god damn he is really an amazing personality
