Two Julian Assange stories in one day:

1. The announcement that the whistleblowing organization founded by the Australian internet activist is up for a Nobel Peace Prize.  Which we would be really excited about if it weren’t for…

2.  According to the Jewish Chronicle:

The editor of Private Eye magazine says Assange told him that an Eye article about WikiLeaks’ Russian associate, alleged Holocaust denier and antisemite Israel Shamir, was “an obvious attempt to deprive him and his organisation of Jewish support and donations”.

In the same interview Mr Assange added that the magazine was “part of a conspiracy” led by “Jewish” writers.

We’ll wait to see the WikiLeaks supporting this claim.

While reading Tony Wuersch’s column over at The Huffington Post, I kept thinking back to my childhood; various teachers and other adults told me that the Dutch-Jewish philosopher, Baruch Spinoza, was a heretic and other assorted bad things that I’d figure out as I got older.  Then when I finally did got older, I read the guy and cried out “by gosh, that’s brilliant!”

The same sort of thing can be said about WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange.  He’s not an evil monster that some people are trying to make him out to be — he’s just doing what he thinks is right, and to be honest I’m pretty glad he is.

I think that’s what Mr. Wuersch was trying to say, but I’m not totally sure.
