Wikileaks mission is to "open Governments". The DNCLeaks and Wikileaks Podesta Emails have become legendary during the 2016 US Presidential campaign. More recently Wikileaks disclosed the Vault 7 CIA Leaks. Wikileaks play a vital role in cyber security, because our politicians simply lack the expertise to act as a check on what the Intel Communities are cooking.
UPDATE: Sweden has finally dropped the rape inquiry against Julian Assange. He is now seeking free passage to exile in Ecuador. Arrest in UK is still possible. London police say the WikiLeaks founder still faces arrest for breaching bail conditions on entering Ecuadorian embassy. Julian Assange and Sweden’s prosecutors Barry J Pollack, the lawyer who represents Assange in the US, told the Guardian that the Swedish decision “only highlights the fact Mr Assange has been unlawfully detained for years”. He added: “Recent comments by the United States Attorney General and Director of the CIA demonstrate the obvious need of Mr Assange for asylum. The UK has no legitimate basis to interfere with Ecuador’s lawful decision.” (More)
