some have said
that Assange became the media whore he now is, in an attempt to get attention for wikileaks. They are still figuring out how to do this. The dumping of the iraq/afghan war documents all in one hit didn't quite work either.

What's interesting in all this, is even though there have been some outrageous allegations (you know, like the military killing civilians without a second thought), no-one seems to care much.
