Julian Assange, self proclaimed watchdog and future Bond villain, is again in the spotlight of the world. The liberal hacker/journalist/philanthropist is on the run from the international authorities. Accused of rape and three accounts of sexual harassment he has now gone underground.
The most recent dump of documents is mainly diplomatic gossip. It gives an honest picture of the real diplomatic relations free of any false smiles and awkward televised conversations. It shows us that official policy isn’t the same as personal opinion. American diplomats call Kim Jong Il a “flabby old chap” and Putin and Medvedev Batman and Robin. The rant goes on and on about every major world leader, but is this so terrifying?
The opinion of the diplomat isn’t the same as the country’ foreign policy, so as long as no one starts crying the world won’t end in a nuclear holocaust, yet.
When it comes to Julian Assange he is currently in an undisclosed location waiting for the diplomats to stop calling each other names, and when they do it will all go back to normal. Or at least until WikiLeaks releases a new load.
