Website to release video of deadly strike on Afghan town
DYLAN WELCH
June 18, 2010

A SECRET Pentagon video showing an air strike in Afghanistan that killed dozens of children is set to be released by the fugitive founder of WikiLeaks.

Julian Assange, the Australian-born man behind the secretive web group, has been in hiding since last week following claims US authorities were ''hunting him''.

3. They would be ballsy to "disappear" him now.
He's well-known now. If he weren't, he would be a goner.

Isn't it funny how the people who are trying to track down a witness and discourage him from talking (also known as witness intimidation) aren't called criminals?
