In 2006, Assange wrote a series of essays that have recently been tapped as an explanation of his political philosophy. A close reading of these essays shows that Assange's personal philosophy is in opposition to what he calls secrecy-based, authoritarian conspiracy governments, in which category he includes the US government and many others not conventionally thought of as authoritarian.
Om mange år, måske efter at han har 'hængt' sig i et revnet kondom i en fængselscelle i Guantanamo eller Abu Ghraib, vil Assange får Nobelprisen. Lidt mere værdigt end skumfiduserne Gore og Obama.
