... Mr Assange previously claimed there was a secret US indictment against him over his role in publishing thousands of secret US diplomatic cables.

The Australian Government has said there is no indication an indictment is pending and Mr Assange agrees.

"Of course not, at the moment the matter is before the grand jury," he told ABC Radio today ...

1. But he is somehow privy to the convening of a grand jury.

And he knows -just KNOWS- that there is a 48,000 page dossier on him and Wikileaks.

Assange, as usual, is mumbling whatever incoherent sentences might keep him from having to go to Sweden.

When will he release his double-super-secret decryption code to topple the world's governments?

That is the question I would really like to hear answered.

Oh, and in case anyone can't hold more than 1 idea in their heads at the same time, I'll help out:
Wikileaks is cool. Assange is not.

4. He knows a great deal more than we do, he published only less than 5 % of the docs given him,

so it is ignorant to say the US doesnt want to silence him for the rest of his life. The knowledge he has probably includes what pappa Bush has been hiding,and the true bullying of the world the US lives by. Assange has to look out for his own skin, no one else is willing to. I think he is very cool indeed, dispite his superiority and huge ego. He is brilliant and knows enough to wisely trust no-one.

Sweden has not filed any charge, the US wont file extradition until Sweden has him. I am aware any brilliant person is jealously hated, and is never liked. We all prop ourselves with lies to fit into society, men like Assange speak truth, defend it no matter the consequence, and are reviled for not joining the sheep who are taught intelligence is evil.

Assange does not spy. He recieves data from whistleblowers and after getting a 2nd source, reports. This is journalism, something the US use to have. It takes intelligence and caution to tell the stories that make sheep cringe in horror, but he has been truthful. That is COOL in my book.

8. Why did you use slashes that are backwards?

Just curious.

7. LOL, you better hide! I call foul!

He gets an unnecessarily bad rap for a situation he didn't create.

'Nuff said about that.
