    Whether he did it or not, people are going to see this as a CIA stitch up.
    We can just blame anything dastardly that happens to him on Bush!

    A step too far??? He HAS to release that stuff because it's been in the works for over a year!

    I think it's about Goldman Sachs ;-).

    People need to know how bubbles are made and blown and who profits ;-).

    Thing is, clearly the security is so piss poor that other countries have been reading this stuff for years anyway. Of course now they're having to pretend they aren't. I'm sure it's not just the CIA who'd like Assange and his bleeding heart spy dead.

    Well, if Assange had done this to the Russians or Chinese (Red) he'd be dead now.

    Assange has already pissed Putin off by linking him to the Russian Mafia, suggesting that he had prior knowledge of the plot to assassinate Alexander Litvinenko in London and that he has many personal assets stashed abroad.

    Some say Putin is europe's richest man and is worth about $30 billion. He utterly denies this as it would effect his 'action man of the people' image back home. He said the reports of his wealth were “rubbish picked out of someone’s nose and smeared on bits of paper”.

    As I said, has anything come out of this that we didn't already know?

    Better hope that he's not hit by a bus, some scaffolding falls on his head etc or no one is going to believe it's an accident.

    That’s it… The more obvious the better…

    I think a 50 cal. head shot from 600-800 meters would be perfect. One could always blame George Bush by claiming he’s been practicing with a 50 cal sniper rifle at his secluded ranch. For an added kicker one could say his old sidekick D*ck Cheney is his spotter and an expert with a spotter scope and handheld computer. I mean it’s important to get the proper windage and elevation.

    Heck 40-50% of the American people would believe it no questions asked. In the rest of the so-called free world 80-90% would swallow the whole conspiracy theory hook, line and sinker.

    I'm thinking like a game of Clue: Cheney in the field with a shotgun.

    Nope, but he still won't like the world's press raking it over.

    Assange is believed to be hiding out in south-east England right now.

    As soon as I find out his whereabouts, I will inform the authorities. It's what he would want me to do.

    Ironic how he is avoiding the law since he is touting full disclosure for everyone else.

    Well one clue is the fact that they only suddenly surfaced at the time of the first big lot of anti-US leaks. I'm not eliminating coincidence and a genuine case to answer, but it certainly looks a tad suspicious.
