In reply to the discussion: Julian Assange bids to sue Julia Gillard for defamation over WikiLeaks comments [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)country we live in, Assange and Wikileaks are not only far more well known than they are here, but have been for long before anyone in the US ever heard of them. They were receiving awards for their excellent work and became a highly respected International News agency while the US was and still is subjected to our controlled media here.
I also love how upsetting it is to them to find out how highly regarded Wikileaks was and remains throughout the world despite the best efforts of the enemies of a free and open press.
Gillard disgraced herself in the beginning of all this, not just in Australia, but around the world not long after being elected. She is pretty much universally despised and likely to be even more so, for her actions and words, which she later tried to retract after seeing the enormous, worldwide negative reaction to them, about Assange.
She retracted them because they were illegal and because of the backlash she received worldwide, but way too late. So I do believe that Wikileaks and especially Assange have a case against her. It will also serve to remind the public of her behavior and what a puppet she is, to file such a suit, regardless of the outcome.
