Julian Assange: International Badass

Hey! Hi! It's my first post! Well, alright. Cool.

That way, everything your whole organization does will be discredited!!! Right? Right?? Except that the leaks themselves are totally unrelated to Assange the spokesperson. All the same, I wish you luck, new folk hero du jour now that the Barefoot Bandit has been made an example of...
