OK, that title is a tad odd, you will have to listen in to understand it.Robin, Ken and I decided to take on wikileaks and its oddball founder,Julian Assange. We had really not a lot of love for Assange himself, but we pretty much agreed that he is a journalist. The odd thing is people are not caring much about where the leaks came from, they are just mad they got published. The other thing we agreed on was that, from what we have seen, there is little in the cables that is anything more than embarrassing. In other words, this is not thePentagon Papers.We also agreed, (we were all quite agreeable in this episode) that relating the leaks and Assange's legal troubles in Sweden is a bit much.We hope you enjoyepisode 25.
