I'm a fan of Michael Moore, but fuck him for publicizing that he made the bail. Way to polarize wikileaks you fat fuck. Such a bad move. Surely he's seen the Curb Your Enthusiasm where you can donate anonymously?

"My lawyers informed me this afternoon there will be another smear attempt relating to this investigation some time tomorrow." - Assange.
I'm interested to see if this prediction comes true. If it does, it'll be quite the coincidence.

It weird to see that the Daily Show has taken no interest in the story. I wonder why they are getting pressure. Is Wikileaks continuing to release cables?

I would have guessed that the Hollywood celebs who are usually so vocal about this kind of thing would have stepped up by now and thrown in a sound bite or two.
Where's George Clooney on all of this? Where's Michael Clayton?

I saw a clip of Letterman where he had Rachel Maddow on and she was against Wikileaks although to be fair she didn't call for his immediate execution. Letterman himself called Assange creepy which is kind of funny considering his own track record.
In order words, I guess it's not OK to support them if you are a mainstream media personality.

Bank of America Corp. said Friday evening that it was joining other financial institutions in declining to process payments intended for WikiLeaks.
"Bank of America joins in the actions previously announced by MasterCard, PayPal, Visa Europe and others and will not process transactions of any type that we have reason to believe are intended for WikiLeaks," the bank said in a statement.
"This decision is based upon our reasonable belief that WikiLeaks may be engaged in activities that are, among other things, inconsistent with our internal policies for processing payments."

Open letter from Reporters Without Borders to Obama and friends,
http://en.rsf.org/open-letter-to…
'Members of the faculty at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism wrote to you recently warning that “government overreaction to publication of leaked material in the press has always been more damaging to American democracy than the leaks themselves.” We fully agree with this analysis.'

not sure how true this is, but Assange seems like a total douche.
I support the cause, not necessarily the dude.- This is a low punch...looking for any excuse to make him look like an asshole, good job.Maaku

I dunno, he seems like a pretty righteous dude, chasing 19 year olds and Swedish women while battling the U.S. government on his laptop and occasionally dropping in to give a speech at TED.
I thought that was what everyone aspired to.

I think the thing is that it's usually an asshole type of guy, egotistical to the core, yet principled, is the only personality type that would do what he is doing. I htink the libertine sexual attitude comes with the willingness to take a principled stand against authority.
From my reading of history Ben Franklin seem to think rather well of himself and had plenty of dalliances with the fairer sex...one can easily imagine him getting the Assange treatment by the brits if the infrastructure was there at the time as he played among the nobility on the continent...

Mainstream media has been exposed for not telling the truth and whole truth regarding the wars in the middle east, bank & political failures and corruption, etc... The mainstream media is only interesting in selling advertising i.e. (Bank of America, Wall Street, Go Army, etc...) Does anyone actually think that the mainstream media is going to give Wikileaks the air-time and or credibility that it deserves?
The mainstream media feeds its consumer bullshit and tv commercials 24/7, period!
- Wiki leaks is 'releasing' these cables to the media. Shouldn't that tell you something right there?VikingKingEleven
- And the main stream media was exposed? Or the govt was exposed? Do you even really understand financial terrorism?VikingKingEleven
