Julian Assange of Wikileaks Tells Larry King to Be Ashamed of His Behavior

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks might have a point in his recent interview tantrums following questions over the allegations of sexual abuse for which he is being investigated in Sweden. He walked out of a recent CNN interview following such questions, and when the same were referred to by Larry King on his show, Julian Assange replied quite tersely, ''It's not right to bring in sensational and, in fact, false claims, a relatively trivial matter compared to the deaths of 109, 000 people ...CNN should be ashamed of doing that. And you, Larry, you actually should be ashamed, as well.''

However, in spite of Julian Assange stating quite clearly to Larry King on television that the allegations were ''in fact, false claims,'' Larry King persisted about the CNN interview and told Assange, ''All you had to do was say they were false. When you say they were trivial, rape isn't trivial. To say they were false, that's your answer. That's all we wanted to hear.''

However, it is astounding and does stink of a contrived smear campaign when a person of the caliber of Larry King chooses to disregard the recorded fact of Julian Assange stating on television that the allegations were ''false claims,'' and for Larry King to keep on harping on ''rape isn't trivial.'' This in spite of the fact that Julian Assange, did not say rape was trivial, but said that the raised question was ''a trivial matter compared to the deaths of 109, 000 people.''



Referring to the documents released to the public by WikiLeaks, Julian Assange said, ''These documents cover 109,000 deaths...That's a serious matter and it's extraordinarily disrespectful to those people to start conflating the first revelation of that material with any sort of tabloid journalism.'' Few sensible people would disagree, but the attitude of the media moghuls clearly define that they are determined to deflect public attention from the merciless deaths of a hundred thousand civilians, including women and children, to a smear campaign against Julian Assange.

It is also curious that the sexual allegations against Julian Assange were timed just after the leak of classified documents by his organization, and then they were dropped for want of evidence, but then again reinstated by the authorities in Sweden. It is also relevant that when Julian Assange walked politely out of the CNN interview, the interviewer said as he was leaving, ''I HAD to ask those questions.'' That stinks of pressure on the interviewer to focus on character assassination of Julian Assange, a common reaction of people with vested interests towards whistleblowers.

Julian Paul Assange is the editor-in-chief and spokesperson of Wikileaks, a whistleblower website. He has a background in computer programming and is credited with writing Strobe, the first open source port scanner freeware in 1995. He has played critical roles in the development of several open source software including PostgreSQL, Rubberhose deniable encryption, and Surfaw.

Julian Assange was the winner of the 2009 Amnesty International Media Award (New Media), for exposing extrajudicial assassinations in Kenya. He has also won the Economist Index on Censorship Award in 2008. In 2010, Julian Assange received the Sam Adams Award for integrity in intelligence. The British magazine New Statesman listed him at slot 23 on the list of ''The World's Most Influential Figures, 2010.''
