be asking about him about his work to save the tortured and oppressed from bruatl dictatorships, and what doing so has done to his own life.

You would ask him about the death treats he has received since he began to expose corrupt leaders who torture and disappear their citizens in countries like Kenya eg.

You would ask him what threats he received after his News Organization revealed for the citizens of Iceland, information about their corrupt banks, making it possible for them to begin to prosecute the perpetrators, and to understand how their economy collapsed.

You would also ask him if he ever regrets fighting for the world's tortured, oppressed and murdered at the hands of brutal and corrupt governments, not being able to live a normal life. Or if he feels it was worth it, especially considering that while his own life has been in danger for so long, he has the satisfaction of knowing that many, many other lives have been saved because of his own personal sacrifices.

That is if you were a real journalist.


But then again, if you were just a 'tabloid schmuck' (thanks Julian) which just about describes most of the MSM 'reporters' as Jim Sciutto so clearly demonstrated this weekend, you would ask him about the usual U.S, media idea of 'news'. Never mind his brilliant and brave history of fighting for the oppressed, we in the U.S. would like to know if he slept with Paris Hilton.

Thanks for demonstrating why Wikileaks was needed in the first place, and why it must be protected from oppressive governments' censorship.
