[Phillip Adams, an ABC radio presenter and member of the WikiLeaks Advisory Board, said] "Why the world is so rushing to condemn and to throw around words like 'treason', which are clearly inapplicable to a young Australian, astonishes me. I think the reaction around the world is bizarre, absolutely bizarre," he said.

"I think if Julian's completely taken out of the picture the organisation will grind on in its mysterious hydra-headed way. Despite all the various attempts to cut it off at the knees and legs, it will continue to flourish and embarrass, and good on it," Adams said.
"I'd be advising WikiLeaks to up the ante and to keep leaking and to demonstrate that it's bigger than Julian Assange."
Governments have used technology for decades to build webs of deceit and lies. Now when technology is being used to uncover them they don't like it. For a society to be truly democratic (which a certain government keeps reminding the world it needs) the population requires education and access to the truth. If when they block that access then they are shown to be truly undemocratic.
