Another anti-Assange message from a 'WikiLeaks Insider'.
Sounds plausible enough - but disinfo is by definition plausible too eh?
I keep an open mind on Assange; but I still think he is being naive if he seriously believes he can taunt the US Intell/Black ops establishment for long and survive unscathed. Maybe he has a sort of martyr-impulse. If so, he'll either get his wish or, when the real crunch comes, he'll be turned. Not likely to be any half measures either, if the stakes really are as high as the possible publication of 1/4 million classified US diplomatic cables - if.

Quote: Via PGPboard, 14 June 2010:Must say I like:
Cryptome published the following:-
Quote [From: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/06/conscience/]He said that Julian Assange had offered him (Manning) a position at Wikileaks. But he said,” I’m not interested right now. Too much excess baggage.”endquote
There will never be any transcripts of Manning's communications with Assange. The issue here is that Assange and Manning (the primary source of Wikileaks Iraq and Afghanistan leaks) hoped to jointly profit by selling some of the data by auction to interested news and media organisations such as AFP, Reuters and CNN, and several British daily newspapers.
Assange will throw Manning to the dogs. As we speak, Assange will not accept any communications from Manning. Manning will be hung out to dry in order to cover Assange’s ass.

Quote:There will never be any transcripts of Manning's communications with Assange..A telling, knife-twisting point - playing on the perils of secrecy when openness/transparency is your watchword.
