LOL.
A man responsible for leaking do ents and making threatening statements based on other do ents he claims to hold complains about his information being leaked.
That's just sweet.
Dude sounds like he's got a "rule the world" complex or something.

WikiLeaks boss Julian Assange turns on everyone
Assange attacks former friends and US
Says rape accusers motivated by revenge
Claims to have material to destroy bank boss
Police feared he would be assassinated
JULIAN Assange, the man behind WikiLeaks, today launched a wide ranging series of attacks on both his enemies and allies as he defended his public and private conduct.
In his first UK newspaper interview since releasing hundreds of secret diplomatic cables last month, Mr Assange told The Times he predicts the US will face reprisals if it attempts to extradite him on conspiracy charges.
He accused his media partners at The Guardian newspaper, which worked with him to make the embarrassing leaks public, of unfairly tarnishing him by revealing damaging details of the sex assault allegations he faces in Sweden.
He insisted that the women behind the claims were motivated by revenge.
Mr Assange said he had enough material ready to destroy the bosses of one of the world’s biggest banks.
Speaking from the English mansion where he is confined on bail, the 39-year-old Australian said that the decision to publish incriminating police files about him was "disgusting".The Guardian had previously used him as its source for hundreds of leaked US embassy cables.
Mr Assange is understood to be particularly angry with a senior reporter at the paper and former friend for "selectively publishing" incriminating sections of the police report, although The Guardian made clear that the WikiLeaks founder was given several days to respond.
Mr Assange claimed the newspaper received leaked do ents from Swedish authorities or "other intelligence agencies" intent on jeopardising his defence.
"The leak was clearly designed to undermine my bail application," he said. "Someone in authority clearly intended to keep Julian in prison."
He denied allegations of sexual assault and said that the allegations by two Swedish women he met in August "came from nowhere".
Mr Assange was arrested and held in Wandsworth prison after Swedish authorities issued an extradition request. He was released on bail last week on a surety of £275,000 ($US427,872).
He said that he still had not seen the full extent of the allegations against him, although he accepted that his Swedish lawyer had been handed many of the details.
When asked if he was promiscuous, he replied: "I’m not promiscuous. I just really like women."
Mr Assange also confirmed that WikiLeaks was holding a vast amount of material about a bank which it intends to release early next year.
Shares in Bank of America recently fell after speculation spread that it was the target.
"We don’t want the bank to suffer unless it’s called for," Mr Assange said. "But if its management is operating in a responsive way there will be resignations."
US officials are reportedly searching for ways to extradite him on espionage charges. Vice President Joe Biden recently called the WikiLeaks founder a "high-tech terrorist".
Mr Assange said that he believed that the US situation would "turn around absolutely" as a groundswell of favourable opinion grew in America.
"The people in power are organised and were able to respond quickly," he said. "But numerically they are not that strong and our support in the general population is tremendous."
Mr Assange's interview follows revelations that police feared he would be assassinated on the front steps of London's High Court.
He revealed earlier he was told to keep a statement celebrating his freedom brief due a perceived threat on his life.
The police concerns emerged as Mr Assange revealed further details about his prison stay - including that he was housed alongside paedophiles and found support among prison guards.
LOL.

I found this article pretty funny. Assange is so upset that HIS private information was leaked - the very epitome of irony!
LOL at you guys
Assange making all the great nations nervous
I think the World Leaders are more pissed than Assange is
where the are the ninja assassins???
I'm beginning to think Hollywood has been lying to me for the past two decades
I Love this. Regardless of if I agree or disagree with what he is doing. I think this is freakin rich. Look man, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Maybe that is why all of his buddies decided to go open their own site (openleaks), because he is a . F-Him. LOL
assange trolling the nations he is supposed to troll.
and, mmmm 2 swedish women
In some sense, this is a case of "what's good for the goose". However, it mentions that this was a former friend of his, so that might be what's he pissed at, the sense of betrayal. If the latter, not quite the same situation. (It's not like Assange and the US government were good friends or anything.)
That's true, but I think people are finding out that Assange is really an a$$hole and that his motives for leaking all the classified information are purely evil and selfish. Karma - what goes around, comes around!In some sense, this is a case of "what's good for the goose". However, it mentions that this was a former friend of his, so that might be what's he pissed at, the sense of betrayal. If the latter, not quite the same situation.

Go back and read around the bolded areas. He is mad that the news paper that he used to publish secret stuff that the US government finds embarrassing, published secret stuff that he finds embarrassing. He finds the decision to print this material "disgusting".In some sense, this is a case of "what's good for the goose".

fallguy...
no one seems to care where the leak came from. You know the actual u.s. government employee handing out the info. NO, get the cyber-TERRORIST!
Right, but read the non-bolded part underneath that.
As I said before, if he's just pissed because his info was leaked, well too bad. If he's pissed because it was a "trusted" friend, slightly different story.Mr Assange is understood to be particularly angry with a senior reporter at the paper and former friend for "selectively publishing" incriminating sections of the police report, although The Guardian made clear that the WikiLeaks founder was given several days to respond.
It is probably a little from column A and a little from column B. Too bad his ego and alleged actions are getting in the way of his desire to change the world.
Pretty sure he has already been dealt with.
Also, I don't blame ASSange for being upset. He hooked some media dudes up with the info they wanted, now they publish ALLEGATIONS against him. All he did was two es without a condom, big deal. I'd like to see how many of you haven't ed a girl that got upset when you didn't stick around to buy her a Christmas present. Then she tells all your friends that she's pregnant, when she really isn't, so it makes you look like an asshole just leaving her out in the cold, but really she's a manipulative that just wanted your cyber fame and paypal money.
I said ing leave me alone !!!
When asked if he was promiscuous, he replied: "I’m not promiscuous. I just really like women."
I don't know about you, but I look at this guy and I don't see a dude who's good with women -- or even likes women, for that matter.
lol 45-3I don't know about you, but I look at this guy and I don't see a dude who's good with women -- or even likes women, for that matter.
Assange is a total a/hole. The PFC who leaked the info to Assange, however, is a treasonous jerk who should be tried as a traitor but who is, as far as I know now, not even being considered for anything worse than "handling classified material in a dangerous way". I know that is not the real terminology, but it is less than a charge of treason, and I don't know why in the world the jerk shouldn't be tried for treason.
Which leaks, specifically, are you most upset about?
Anyway, Bradley Manning is getting his, don't worry. http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/gl.../12/14/manning
The State Department information regarding our positions in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I don't care about the leaks showing embarrassing comments about diplomats. That is unimportant. But it IS important that our positions regarding how we handle one of the hottest spots on the planet not be compromised, and that our intelligence from Afghan and Pakistani informants be protected. All of that has been compromised, to the detriment of our troops and our nation's ability to pursue its foreign policy.
Finally, the post-9/11 findings from the commission found that our intelligence and foreign service agencies needed to share more info., and that if they had done so, 9/11 might have been averted. However, this kind of 'outing' of data will be used by the state and fbi and cia and others are to say "We're not willing to share with the Pentagon because what happened when their PFC let the info. out." Then we are all worse off for it.
Berkely city council had a resolution to declare him a hero.

Doesn't anyone feel sorry for the loser?
The PFC is being charged with the crimes he committed, not a big deal. , most of the stuff wasn't even a high classification level.
Well, if police records are confidential in Sweden, sure I feel bad for him. Just like I would anybody.
But the allegations themselves? He allegedly broke the laws of the country he was in. They aren't even terrible laws or immoral ones. It's stuff illegal in large parts of the US as well in my understanding. Nope, no pity.
About the paper? Come on, the paper is in the business of selling stories, and he's a story. There's no loyalty involved. Even if he gave them the leaked files anonymously, the paper's loyalty ends with not revealing that he gave them the leaks.
He's willfully a public figure, and he's being treated like one. He's old enough to know what it means to be a public figure. Nope, no real pity.
I sure am laughing at the irony though.
