Hrmm...I am not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, having light shone on various dark parts of processes can be good for innovation and checks and balances - but on the other hand, it kinda feels like Assange is getting too big for his britches.

I feel like it might be getting to his head and he feels he is more important than he should be.

I also feel like he might be giving an outlet to squeaky wheels - i.e. disgruntled employees that have a bridge to burn because they are upset about management decision.

I am no big fan of corporate secrecy and perhaps shedding a light on certain practices can get 'big business' to stop lobbying lawmakers for some ridiculous things, but I am nervous that it might have many unintended consequences.

i.e. we turn Assange into a mercenary that releases stuff for his own self-aggrandizement than for the greater good.
