EVERY attack now made on WikiLeaks and Julian Assange was made against me and the release of the Pentagon Papers at the time.
I'd love to meet Julian [Assange], and time permitting, and his will permitting, I'm sure it will happen at some point. Even though he's been very critical of the film [The Fifth Estate], he's been very polite about me and my work, and I feel the same way about him.
Personally, I think Julian Assange is a hero.
I genuinely don't know Julian Assange well. To authenticate an opinion, I really would have to meet him.
I feel that Julian Assange came to be both paranoid and self-regarding in ways that ultimately undermined his own mission.
