RE: narcissistic? Nonsense. Just an attempt of demonising the unwelcome Messenger of truth. You could make a better case for America as a nation are narcissistic but also arrogant. Indeed we correspond to the definition of megalomania - delusional fantasies of wealth, power or omnipotence.

In addition, United States, lies you flee, only to confirm what we already know about you, your greedy, evil as you, your time is over.

Anyone really believes that our nation and the Iran Iraq atrocities have revealed without Wikileaks? It; s a disgrace to the principles of our nation that we try to demonise a man who gave us a favour. Fortunately, the number of Americans is awakens the mode of functioning of the traditional media. Dan Rather was right on censorship in these States of United States and fear that our journalists have spelling of truth.

It is narcissistic to release private documents that will get people killed - really killed - not only lose their jobs, but lose their lives to what they have said to someone else in a private conversation. Do something that will get killed someone just for you can become famous... This is narcissistic.

Assange acquired supporters everywhere in the world, more than any President or the famous star. It will be ideal for all defenders of human rights and freedom of expression. In some countries, justice is just a word not ideal. Had clinically narcissistic or not as m., post claimed, Assange provided huge favor this generation and exposed many new developments in the field.

History will appreciate all its efforts .we will be held in his favor forever. Let the people describe as guardian of human rights watch their faces on the mirror because the public can not afford more deception and false slogans. Same Americans cannot afford more promises and commitments. As this policy of Israel and Republicans will lead our world at worst.

We can say there are two problems mainly.First, on Earth, what is the secret question? most of the written documents secret question had many things not worth it.Second, how to handle the problems of whistle - blew content.Wikileaks extraordinary information promoting the whistle blowing I will never agree with them.

He is a citizen Australian and it is not yet on our Australia television channels (even if it is appearing in some newspapers.) Our Prime Minister said he acts "illegal" without trial, but may not discover what law is broken. It shows how draw Governments have about censorship all media worldwide. The public is not stupid. All citizens of the world will finally hear about it.

It will be water under the bridge before long. Around the world, humanity abandoned the truth a long time ago. and power know.
