Barton Gellman @bartongellman

To @Frontline, Assange said "I don't know" if he wrote the email. Disputed only the word "regime." http://bgell.me/17vzxxh @ThisWeekABC

The link leads to this: (behind the scenes, interview tape between Julian Assange & PBS Frontline’s Martin Smith which was recorded on 4/4/2011)

Tell me whether this is true, that in an e-mail you said, "The total annihilation of the current U.S. regime or any other regime that holds its authority through mendacity alone could be accelerated or advanced by several years if WikiLeaks does its job right."

I don't know if I wrote that e-mail, but I recall that it spawned (controversy). That I've read. I don't think the word "regime" was used. I believe the word (was) "administration."

He also references this excerpt from an email

WL can advance the political/governance aspects of these developments

by several years which will have all sorts of positive cascades, not
the least of which is total annihilation of the current US regime and
any other regime that holds its authority through mendacity alone.
