Wikileaks creator uses blackmail to save himself

By: Jerilynn Sweet
Julian Assange, creator of WikiLeaks is among the most sought after people by the United States Government. His name has hit the limelight for releasing classified government materials. Now with the threat of arrest looming over his head he has issued a blackmailing statement to the U.S. Government. Mr.Assange has released that if he should be arrested by any government official either national or international, since hes currently believed to be in London, he will release documents of an even higher security clearance than what he has previousely released. His claim is that he still holds the passwords to files about illegal Afgan airstrikes, U.S. Gov't bank statements, Guantanamo Bay, and several other classified materials. His promise is to keep all of this information plus many other things he knows to himself as long as he is left alone. Not only is he blackmailing the governement to leave him alone he has also begun using e-mails from diffrent countries that are untraceable so that he can still have access to the webpage that has casued him so much trouble. He has also created bank accounts in diffrent countries to sustain himself financially no matter where he may run to or hide in. It seems to me that for someone so sure of himself and his information the fear of God has been put into him and he may now realize why the U.S. Governement uses the words confidential, classified, and top security.
