Frost's interview with Mark Stephens, Assange's lawyer, is also well worth a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duh7eSBnVZE

3. A remarkable interview. Assange cogently explains what the current |
|
situation is, and with class, I might add. It's clear to me that the Obama administration is leaning heavily on the Swedish govt. to get him extradited, eventually, to the US.
For this, I will NEVER forgive Obama.

4. K & R Very interesting to hear Assange speak. I think perhaps these |
|
people in government jobs throughout the world tend to get involved in their little cloak and dagger games and forget that it isn't all a spy novel or a mystery game. Or they believe the game is reality, but forget they are playing with people lives. Or don't care.
But for sanity's sake, I can't figure out what their objective is except to keep playing the same damned paranoic game or even who they are playing against except us, the citizens of the world.

This is by far the most informative interview with Assange that I've seen or heard. And the reason why that is true is because the interviewer asks sensible non-leading questions and listens to the answer, understands the answer and then modifies his following question accordingly. Of course, the interviewer is the legendary David Frost so we shouldn't really be surprised that it's a good interview but it's so rare to see these days that I feel the need to point it out.

I'm kicking this because it's the only informative interview with Assange on the subject of Wikileaks that I've seen. It deserves to have more views.

8. So, whoever leaked the Swedish police material knew exactly who at The Guardian |
|
to send it to, someone who was hostile to Wikileaks. Then, after Assange responds to that, the idea that he is "turning" on friends can be written. Trickery.
Great interview. Frost is still the best.
