[HIB]Julian Assange: The Whistleblower

He has been warned never to travel to America. It is said that he never spends more than two nights in one place. And why? Because he runs a little website called WikiLeaks . . . Stephen Moss tracks down the elusive Julian Assange.Everything about this is odd. Julian Assange, the founder, director, frontman, guiding spirit of global whistleblowing service WikiLeaks looks a bit odd for a start. Tall, cadaverous, dressed in ripped jeans, brown jacket, black tie, battered trainers. Somebody says he looks like Andy Warhol with his prematurely white hair, but I can't remember who, which will bother the hell out of him because accuracy is everything. He detests subjectivity in journalism; I fear that part of him detests journalists, too, and that WikiLeaks - which describes itself as an "uncensorable system for untraceable mass document leaking" - is essentially a way of cutting out subjectivist idiots such as me.
