The elusive founder of WikiLeaks, who is at the centre of a potential US national security sensation, has surfaced from almost a month in hiding to tell the Guardian he does not fear for his safety but is on permanent alert.
Julian Assange, a renowned Australian hacker who founded the electronic whistleblowers' platform WikiLeaks, vanished when a young US intelligence analyst in Baghdad was arrested.
The analyst, Bradley Manning, had bragged he had sent 260,000 incendiary US state department cables on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to WikiLeaks.
Assange appeared in public in Brussels for the first time in almost a month to speak at a seminar on freedom of information at the European parliament.

What I think is that what he posses is so volatiale that if Julian ended up missing it would all be released and not only that, his death would look suspicious. I think he should release some of the juicy stuff and keep on leaking it out slowly so that they can never assassinate him as he has the juiciest of things hidden with a dead man switch.

Let's see what laws are enacted due to this Julian Assange character.
Then we'll see his purpose. Hindsight is 20/20.
I predict internet regulation in the name of national security.

Perhaps Assange is collaborating with foreign goverment's as a means of harming diplomatic relationships.
