Oliver Stone: "Had WikiLeaks Been Around In 2003 Bush Wouldn't Have Pulled Off His Conspiracy..."
Interviews with him on WikiLeaks at LKY School of Public Policy:

http://wikileaks-movie.com/blog/2011/oliver-stone-reflects-on-wikileaks-assange-bradley-manning-legendary-film-director-shares-his-thoughts-during-visit-to-singapore/

5:22 – Oliver Stone: "…WikiLeaks was a great boon to people such as myself who believe that the truth can only help us. And the WikiLeaks scandal…the way the media came down on this Assange…They smeared him…all the usual stuff that they do…those of us who have been around a long time recognize that from the Ellsberg case. Interesting thing of course is the Ellsberg case…what he released was top secret…what Manning released wasn’t secret. So Ellsberg really violated in a far deeper way…look at him know…people admire him…Ellsberg finally got on the right side, he was on the right side of history, but now he’s been more recognized."

Oliver Stone, cont: "I hope one day that Julian Assange and above all Bradley Manning is free…I don’t think Bradley Manning’s gonna to get out of it…"

Oliver Stone, cont: "WikiLeaks has changed the world already. I mean what are we saying….There is so much WikiLeaks has released that we haven’t even absorbed yet….and I’ve heard so many stories…even from Venezuela…but also the Middle East….WikiLeaks has got some surprises ahead of us….It may not make vast changes because the government ridicules it but it does get out into the consciousnesss… change is possible…So let’s root for WikiLeaks…Had WikiLeaks been around in 2003 George Bush would never have pulled off his conspiracy to go to war in Iraq.”
