See, this is the problem with talking all big and bad. Sooner or later people will expect the purveyor of pomposity to produce. After all the silly 'teasers,' Assange has failed to get it up. Color me not shocked.
All in all that's an excellent analysis. Markedly unlike Edward Snowden (whom I believe is an honest-to-pete patriot), Assange seeks some kind of gain for the information he releases. I'll BEGIN to take him more seriously when he ceases playing silly games.
I have to agree with you there. It's plainly obviously to anyone watching that Snowden gained nothing by coming forward, rather he lost everything.
Assange is someone I've watched in wonder for a while now. Particularly given the fact that he has a son who procured a bachelor of science and supposedly works as a software designer. Just doesn't sound like the life of someone running from the most powerful entities in the world. But I could see that being the life of someone auctioning off information, perhaps even root sources to them.
Exactly. If all things with Assange were as they appear, he wouldn't be risking his son's life by sending him off to college and then to a promising career (in IT!?!?). And that's even IF such opportunities were available to the progeny of a putative political pariah. (Gawd I love alliterations! :-))
