Julian Assange named "Man of the Year" by le Monde

France's newspaper of record has named Julian Assange "man of the Year," a choice supported by a large number of their readers.

Grand, mince, élégant, Julian Assange, fondateur et patron de WikiLeaks, s'impose d'abord à ses interlocuteurs comme un orateur talentueux, à la voix grave et posée, sachant manier la rigueur, l'humour, l'émotion, mais aussi le sarcasme.

Le Monde

Tall, slim and elegant, Julian Assange first strikes his questioners as a talented orator, his voice grave and poised, knowing well how to manage rigor, humor, emotion but also sarcasm. (Trans DJW001)

I guess the French agree that Sarko is an "emperor with no clothes."

Oh goody gumdrops I woke up just in time.

So, the flattery and adulation begins.

No nwo.

Nope.

Hahaha the Old Grand Mince eh.

I still think he's an irresponsible person. But I wont let public opinion sway me

Grand Mince... lmao...

Whatever anyone thinks of him,he could be part of the organisation which may have changed things on a global scale beginning in this year.Or he could be nothing more than another flash in the pan...

That of course remains to be seen,but I can see why a newspaper/magazine may vote him "person of the year."

What he and his gang have so far released,and what they will release in the future may or may not bring about great changes.
Good or bad who knows yet,but Assange and Co. have certainly gained worldwide attention IMO.

However he deserves it ... but i am afraid US administration will not agree with this .

Well considering " US administration" doesn't even agree with the American public then It sounds about right to me
