I've long come to the conclusion that Assange is a self-aggrandizing douchebag who's ultimate lure is just the power to do what the fuck he wants with this information, pure and simple. He claims some moral high-ground but he has an angle just like everyone else.

He's playing the moral superhero but like any big government that claims it's saving people, he's really exerting his own control over the information as it suits HIM and his organisation with no real concern for people's lives.

What the hell is wrong with Assange? Sorry but your "mission" for complete government transparency means nothing when you pull shit like this.
