Assange: It?s Only Transparency When It Happens To Other People; Otherwise It?s Malicious Libel

When asked last year by a Swedish television journalist "why do journalists censor themselves?" Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange thought for a moment and replied:
"I think there is a fear about the response from those people who are offended? and the journalists think that, incredibly, that it would not be in their career interests to pursue that material."
In that same interview Assange said "The aim of Wikileaks is to achieve just reform around the world and do it through the mechanism of transparency". A year later, Julian Assange's Wikileaks organisation is threatening to sue the Guardian over "malicious libels". Now can we all accept that Julian Assange is a fame-hungry, media-manipulating hypocrite? Please?
