It is not really showing us something that shouldn't have been said or done etc...it is giving the wrong people (everyone with internet access) the information they do not need!

If he's do something wrong, arrest him and charge for that, rather being deceitful and lowering to his level as it just reinforcing his stand.
I like wikileaks, I just wished the us would get their own security in order instead of hunting down the publicist. They have some very serious problem with people who have confidential and top secret access not only to their information but also that of their NATO partners. Yet what do they do, run a bad campaign against the only public face of wikileaks.
You could perhaps stretch a case for indiscretions made by a career civil servant (even though such things are supposedly said in confidence) but I think the Wikileaks founder will have little support for leaking that particular document of infrastructure deemed important
Now thats hes arrested I assume he will get a solicitor. As he believes in putting information in the public eye can I assume he will waiver his client/solicitor confidentiality and will be putting everything discussed between them in the public eye?
I can't believe Mr Assange tried to get his bail address not released by the court. Obviously the judge told him that supporting that request would go against Mr Assanges values.
