You're Missing The Point....
Assange, apart from being an *incredible* hypocrite with a messiah complex, wants the "public interest" to be whatever the public is interested in and so, anyone who comes into the press's radar, automagically loses any right, to any privacy whatsoever. Don't forget, it's largely the press who decide who is or isn't newsworthy.
Take her "Royal Hotness" Pippa Middleton. Is she fair game? Just because her sister married an inbred?
Justifying phone tapping on the grounds that someone is "famous" is sick. And, where do you draw the line, if anywhere? Suppose me and my mates in the pub decide that we're interested in the new family that's moved into the area. We're part of the public, we're interested in them so, according to Asshats arguments, we'd be completely justified in tapping their phones, reading their mail and hacking their computers. Information wants to be free.
And, to justify the hypocritical slur, can you remember when Assange screamed like a virgin when the Guardian published details of Swedish allegations against him? For a media-whore like him to object to the publication really took the biscuit.
Cheers
