Yesterday I went to see, with mixed feelings, the independent film 'We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks' and it is worth seeing. Part of the film is on Bradley Manning; whose case I have not followed in detail, but raises questions as to his suitability to handle secrets.
Yes a good number of the real people interviewed have had a close association with Mr Assange. I was stunned that General Mike Hayden contributed, he is credited with the film's name.
Overall Mr Assange comes out very badly, as a person, his Wikileaks campaign and leaves more questions unanswered about him.
Needless to say he doesn't like the film and Tweeted:
an unethical and biased title in the context of pending criminal trials. It is the prosecution’s claim and it is false

There were three threads on Wikileaks and they have been merged as 'The Wikileaks Collection' (542 posts and 46.7k views) at:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/showthread.php?t=11912
