WikiLeaks sold classified intel, claims website's co-founder
2010-12-06
One of the early members and co-founders of the tight-knit, secretive WikiLeaks operation charged today that the website and its co-founder, Julian Assange, sold intelligence information the site had obtained.

John Young, whose name was listed as the public face of WikiLeaks in the site's original domain registration, also alleged that the website is a lucrative business.

Young said he left the site in 2007 due to concerns over its finances and that WikiLeaks was engaged in the selling of documents.
There's a link to a radio interview at the site.

#9  There's a lot about Assange that isn't being widely reported in the press that would be if there were a smear campaign going on.

You mean you don't know a smear campaign when you see one?


The guy stands up and rubs his shit-covered hands all over his body, and you think those reporting it are part of a smear campaign?

#7  Yes RNJ. But I also know a self-important leftist asshole when I see one as well, and they are prone to that sort of behavior.

#4  "Then again, it is WND and I'm on a low-salt diet."

Yeah, I feel the same way but the link is there to the radio interview. You can hear Young say it himself.

#2  If true, that would explain how Assange and wikileaks have been able to pay for server access, payroll, and expenses.

Then again, it is WND and I'm on a low-salt diet.

#1  Oh, I forgot to mention: Hat Tip to Uncle Phester; I'd followed the link and forgotten it came from him. Sorry!
