Assange has been an award winning journalist, editor and political activist since at least the early 90s. Those credentials are not difficult to find -- plus, some of us actually knew of him before he became the new Salman Rushdie.
It's difficult to pay for anything when the US flexes its muscle to have accounts frozen and forbid access to any money. Sure, the guy's most likely a prick. He's arrogant and quite self-righteous. Nonetheless, the opposing agenda is so transparent that it would be laughable if lives were not being adversely affected.
This is no longer about whether Assange is a nice bloke. It's about the way that international governments collude to keep their citizens ignorant, and the lengths they will go to in order to silence any dissent. If Julian Assange had not had access to the internet, I'm certain he would have been quietly "disposed of" long ago.
